Into the Vaults: Seeing Each Other

Japanese Images of Europe & Franco-Russian Images of Asia

Join Maggie Crosland and Katherine Anne Paul for an intimate viewing of works on paper that feature Japanese artists’ visions of Europe and a European artist’s depictions of people from across Asia. At this event, we will closely examine works by artists like Aleksandr Jacovleff, who travelled Asia as part of a publicity campaign for the French automobile company Citroën.
