A most gorgeous exhibit by The Metropolitan Museum of Art is The Flowering of Edo Period Painting, which lasts until September 7th.
We first featured this exhibit here:
The Edo Period is defined as 1615-1868 and the Feinberg collection is widely considered to be one of the best assembled private collections of this period outside of Japan.
The landscape scrolls in shades of grays are striking, and like everything The Met does, this exhibit is well-thought out, arranged beautifully, and educates you on something you likely don't know much about prior. Our favorite part of this was the glass deer! It's an innovative new form of taxidermy to us...artificial crystal glass. You might imagine the deer just exited the bubble bath.
The green of the pine in the above is stunning, and the colors chosen are vivid though few, so they have more emphasis on a standalone basis.
Some are quite refreshing and soothing to admire, like these fish. This is exactly what you need during a Manhattan heat wave!
Other than the glass deer, of the two-dimensional pieces we liked these deer above the most.

Some of the newest parts of the exhibit we found quite appealing, like the dynamic motion captured in "Flow," (2011) the sand-glazed stoneware. The 1986 Water Stone was superb; it's incredible how the waterflow is nearly invisible.
Standing and seated beauty were quite fashionable.
