Moreover, Asian Ameri- cans are a rapidly growing demographic group; population analysts predict that at least one in 10 U.S. residents will be of Asian heritage by the middle of the twenty-first century.1 These new realities continue and complicate the long-interwoven eco- nomic and political relationships of the United States and Asian nations. They also carry implications for scholars interested in the history of Ameri- can art, which has in the past focused on such questions as what qualities of U.S. art are distinctly “American” and what lines of influence can be traced to European forebears across the Atlantic Ocean. Today scholars of the vi- sual arts are constructing an expanded field, one in which they see “American art” as an amalgam of many influences and currents, and consider the plural nature of an America made up of more diverse populations. In crossing both national and disciplinary boundaries to achieve their goals, they are contributing to an international turn in American art scholarship. While scholars continue to raise many questions about U.S. artists’ interchanges with Europe—the subject of most of the work done to date on transna- tional exchange—they also, partly in response to our real-world concerns, are expressing a greater, more multifarious interest in our growing connec- tions with Asia. This was the subject of the Smithsonian’s 2009 conference A Long and Tumultuous Relationship: East–West Interchanges in American Art, which was organized by the Smithsonian American Art Museum in 3 partnership with the Freer Gallery of Art and the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery as well as the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Program, with the generous support of the Terra Foundation for American Art. This book of proceedings, co-edited with Lee Glazer and Amelia A. Goerlitz, brings together papers from the symposium that offer new avenues for research on Asian–U.S. artistic exchange. The contributors to this volume—art historians, curators, and historians from Britain, China, Ireland, Japan, and Korea as well as the United States—provide an array of perspectives. Each essay explores some aspect of the many ways in which American and Asian artists have interacted from the eighteenth century to the pres- ent day and considers some of the specific locations where these interchanges took place. A key point of the conference and of this volume is to demonstrate through the presentation of provocative and original research that artistic ideas did not flow primarily in one direction (from Asia to the United States—or as Beijing scholar Ding Ning notes, from the country with the longer history to the newer culture), but rather that they circulated through a variety of dynamic international relation- ships—sometimes personal, sometimes commercial or governmental, philosophical or pedagogical. In addition, the essays included here discuss an expanded geography of contact zones (including, for example, not only the Pacific Northwest, China, and Japan, but also India, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Salem, Massachusetts) in an attempt to enrich and complicate our understandings of these ever-shifting global relationships. They engage a wide range of media, including postcards, maga- zines, handicrafts, and buildings as well as “high art” forms. Cross-racial themes emerge at home and abroad, and strategies used by artists and viewers to envision and construct identities, both of self and other, are discussed. The results of the symposium as laid out in this book are exciting and eclectic, with participants not offering any one coherent narrative but struggling with the vastness and diversity of the many Easts that exist and of America itself. Some of the work presented is in a preliminary stage and will be developed further over time. The organizers did not in general select papers that give priority to the immigrant experience, another broad area where considerable research is under way today, but sought instead a range of approaches to transnational interchange in a variety of places, with the hope of provoking a productive dialogue for the future.2 Some of these come together visually in Theodore Wores’s compelling 1881 painting The Chinese Fishmonger (Figure 1), which was chosen to grace the cover of the conference program and website. Here an American-born artist who had just completed years of training in Munich found a window on multiple global currents in San Fran- cisco’s busy Chinatown, where he painted with careful dignity a fishmonger engaged in a picturesque act of daily commerce—an Asian with whom he had made actual 4 East–West Interchanges in American Art 3 1 1.

A selection of Japanese prints sets the stage for Arts & Crafts era works by Charles Bartlett, Elizabeth Colborne, Arthur Wesley Dow, Frances Gearhart, Edna Boies Hopkins, Bertha Lum and Margaret Jordan Patterson. Woodcuts by Helen Franken- thaler illuminate connections between Abstract Expressionism and Japanese art. Prints by Annie Bissett, Kristina Hagman, Ellen Heck, Tracy Lang, Eva Pietzcker and Roger Shimomura illustrate the ongo- ing allure of ukiyo-e as the basis for innovations in printmaking today.

  • Collection Highlights Since Its Founding in 1924, the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts Has Built a Collection of Nearly 5,000 Artworks
    Collection Highlights Since its founding in 1924, the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts has built a collection of nearly 5,000 artworks. Enjoy an in-depth exploration of a selection of those artworks acquired by gift, bequest, or purchase support by special donors, as written by staff curators and guest editors over the years. Table of Contents KENOJUAK ASHEVAK Kenojuak Ashevak (ken-OH-jew-ack ASH-uh-vac), one of the most well-known Inuit artists, was a pioneering force in modern Inuit art. Ashevak grew up in a semi-nomadic hunting family and made art in various forms in her youth. However, in the 1950s, she began creating prints. In 1964, Ashevak was the subject of the Oscar-nominated documentary, Eskimo* Artist: Kenojuak, which brought her and her artwork to Canada’s—and the world’s—attention. Ashevak was also one of the most successful members of the Kinngait Co-operative, also known as the West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative, established in 1959 by James Houston, a Canadian artist and arts administrator, and Kananginak Pootoogook (ka-nang-uh-nak poo-to-guk), an Inuit artist. The purpose of the co-operative is the same as when it was founded—to raise awareness of Inuit art and ensure indigenous artists are compensated appropriately for their work in the Canadian (and global) art market. Ashevak’s signature style typically featured a single animal on a white background. Inspired by the local flora and fauna of the Arctic, Ashevak used bold colors to create dynamic, abstract, and stylized images that are devoid of a setting or fine details.

  • Andreas Schmid Interview Transcript
    www.china1980s.org INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT ANDREAS SCHMID Interviewer: Jane DeBevoise, Anthony Yung Date: 27 Apr 2008 Duration: about 2 hours Location: Asia Art Archive, Hong Kong Question (Q): Why did you go to China? Where you and what were you doing? Who are some of the artists that you encountered and what do you think about them? What were the artists reading and what are your comments on those materials? Andreas Schmid (AS): I graduated from the Art Academy in Stuttgart in 1981, studying painting. My paintings were, at that time, very different from German painters like Kiefer in that they always have free space, and transparency of layers of space in them. I painted with oil and acrylic, and it was different from my colleagues/contemporaries. I became interested in the idea of space, of Chinese Art, classical Chinese art, like Ni Zan [倪赞] in the fourteenth century. Then I went to Cologne and saw a collection of Japanese Buddhist writings collected by Seiko Kono , abbot of the Daian-ji temple in Nara City , Japan. I would like to know the line from another side, because lines played the most important role graphically in my paintings. So I tried contacting organizations that would support me, and they informed me there was only one woman who went to China as an artist from Germany with the support of the German exchange service. I went to see her, and she had studied in Hangzhou one year ago at that time (1980). She studied birds and flowers painting. She told me, if you want to do this, you should go to China, it is interesting.

I know the sun's out, the caterpillars and things coming out soon; but talking about the art scene, I have been reading a very interesting thing that was sent to me, once again, by Wesley Wehrÿ-- the talk that Henry Geldzahler gave to Yale, I think almost a year ago, about what he felt about the state of the New York scene, and the scene of art, generally speaking in the world. He said some very cogent things all through it, things that I think probably will apply for quite a long time, particularly to those people and a lot of young people who are so interested in the arts. Do you want to see that? MK: Sure. [Break in tape] MK: Go ahead.

Being the forerunners at the various stages in the progress of Chinese contemporary art, these artists first met in New York in the 1990s. In that culturally rich yet unrelenting environment of Manhattan and Brooklyn, they single-handedly launched their artistic practice, provided camaraderie to each other and exchanged ideas about art. In the new millennium, they’ve returned to China respectively. Bearing in mind their artistic ideals, their friendship and experiences of New York reunite them to hold frequent exhibitions together. With this collaboration built on friendship, they continue to discover and develop one’s own potential through the mirror of the others, as they persevere and temper in reaching their ideals in art. Unlike the previous retrospective exhibitions, the artists present their most recent works. Chen Danqing’s study on Picasso and other Western artists along with Chinese landscape painting and calligraphy is revealed in his conceptual painting “Catalogue”, a work that addresses the complex notions of drawing, translation, compositional lexicon and pictorial transformation. Ma Kelu’s “Ada” series embodies a principle of the “unconscious”, whose cursive and hyper expressive techniques adroitly integrates with the emotional elements of the painting to render “true nature”.
