Beautiful landscapes, pottery designs, a shipwrecked sailor’s view of Russia, tales of good and evil, the construction of Samurai warriors’ armor and weapons, the care of horses, Christianity and Buddhism are topics addressed in the 17th - 20th-century manuscripts and objects on loan from the Melikian Collection. These fragmented records have been a resource for study by art history seminar students guided by Claudia Brown, professor at the Herberger Institute School of Art, and Jean Makin, print collections manager at the ASU Art Museum.
This exhibition is supported by James and Ana Melikian, the Japan Foundation and the Friends of the ASU Art Museum. Visit asiaartsphoenix.org.
