Description

Kagedo Japanese Art in Seattle is one of about ten galleries in the States to focus exclusively on Japanese fine art at this level. It is a serene space with pale walls and soaring ceilings, dim lighting and tinkling fountains—the perfect setting for its museum-quality art and antiques: painted scrolls and screens, lacquer work, basketry, bronze metalwork sculptures, cloisonné vases and tea-ceremony objects. Of particular interest to the owner, Jeff Cline, is Japanese painting from the Art Deco period. A catalog from his exhibition earlier this year at the International Asian Art Fair in New York, <i>Light Through Clouds: Modern Japanese Painting</i>, features works from the 1920s and 30s. "I want to educate people," says Cline. "Most Americans think of Japanese art as a chrysanthemum painted on a screen. But Japan has its Picassos too." (via Elements of Living)
