The exhibit “The Elegance of Memory” at Palazzo Pitti until July 1 2012<\/strong> shows the progress of Japanese modern and contemporary decorative arts<\/strong> through the 20th century, as they move from emulation of traditional techniques (without the functions that drove them) towards artistic expression resulting in originality and individualistic personality in forms.<\/p>\n

This show is one of three at Palazzo Pitti this summer under the umbrella “Giappone, Terra di Incanti” (Japan, The Land of Enchantment). The other areas explore Japonism in Tuscany<\/a> (Modern Art Gallery) and Traditional Japanese art (Musei degli Argenti) from the historic periods. The Elegance of Memory section is in the Palatine Galleries.<\/p>\n

Here I present a selection of some of the most interesting pieces you can see if you are headed to the show. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
