About This Lesson
The "Paintings by Masami Teraoka" exhibition was on view at the Asian Art Museum from October 22, 1997 – January 25, 1998. This exhibition demonstrated that Japanese painting, like other endeavors such as architecture, garden design, ceramics, print making, and costume design, remains vital, and that the Japanese people's traditional love of beautiful color and fluid lines, as found in ukiyo-e, can be fused with the progressive ideas and imagery of American pop art.
