Lectures For Lifelong Learners!

Take a walk through Manet’s house in Giverny, and you will see walls plastered with Japanese woodblock prints. Had Japanese art never made its way to Paris, Western art would likely not have seen Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. Renoir, Cezanne, Picasso, Matisse, all might have become artists, but their work would not have been the same. In this lecture, we will explore the nature of Modernism and how it was formed by Japanese art and Buddhism.
