Modes of Making: Ogata Korin and Art in Early Modern Japan

Frank Feltens, PhD, Associate Curator of Japanese Art, Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Washington

Ogata Korin (1658-1716) is one of early modern Japan's most cherished artists. He was also one of the era's most versatile painters, having worked in nearly every medium available to artists during his time: painting, lacquer, ceramics, and textiles. Korin's mastery lies in the multivalence of his materials and his skill in recasting age-old themes into novel visual experiences. Through the lens of the iris subject--one of Korin's signature tropes--this talk explores the processes of production, layered cultural meanings, and impact of key examples of Korin's iris works in different media. The talk draws from Feltens' book "Ogata Korin: Art in Early Modern Japan," available from Yale University Press.

Frank Feltens holds a PhD in Japanese art history from Columbia University (2016). Feltens is a specialist in Japanese art with a focus on the late medieval and early modern periods. Additional interests include Japanese photography and the intersections between painting and ceramics. Feltens has published and lectured on a range of topics related to Japanese art. Recent articles examine the painters Ogata Kōrin and Sakai Hōitsu, and the photographer Domon Ken. Prior to coming to the Freer and Sackler, he worked at the Museum of Modern Art, the National Museum of Asian Art in Berlin and the Nezu Museum and the temple Sensōji in Tokyo.

This lecture is organized within the framework of the lecture series “New Publications in Japanese Art History" at the IKO, Heidelberg.
