Abstract:
This exhibition of Japanese blue and white export porcelains is of special interest as it permits comparisons between blue and white wares of similar design from the Orient and Europe, and calls attention to the vital function of the European maritime nations, particularly Portugal and Holland, in the transmission of aesthetic concepts between East and West. Clear examples of cross-cultural aesthetic exchanges are always fascinating, especially when they can be corroborated by historical documentation such as the surviving seventeenth-century registers of the Dutch East India Company. -- [pg.4].
