Japanese masterworks from the Price collection

"Joe Price purchased his first Japanese painting in the 1950s, under the influence of Frank Lloyd Wright. Over the next five decades, he and his wife Etsuko would collect more than 200 masterpieces from the Edo period (1615-1868), a time when Japan had isolated itself from the rest of the world. Curiously, during that period of national seclusion, independent and diversely creative artists flourished as never before." "Japanese Masterworks from the Price Collection features 225 full color and 114 black-and-white images; together they represent the rich aesthetic diversity that characterized the Edo period. Essays by leading scholars of Japanese painting and architect Frank O. Gehry put both the collection and the collector in context and provide insight into the wonders of Japanese art."--BOOK JACKET.
