Japanese Lacquer, In the Collection of Dr. Elizabeth Force, SCMA Catalogue

Japanese Lacquer in the Collection of Dr. Elizabeth Force is a comprehensive documentation of the lacquerware that Dr. Force has collected through 2017, ranging from literary boxes to incense utensils, from household items to objets de vitrine. They attest to the refined skills of lacquer artisans in Japan's late Edo and early Meiji periods. Monika Bincsik, Assistant Curator in the Department of Asian Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and a specialist in Japanese decorative arts, catalogued the collection and wrote the illuminating essays in this beautiful and comprehensive publication, which also includes an introduction by SCMA Director and Louise Ines Doyle '34 Chief Curator, Jessica Nicoll. The catalog was published in association with an exhibition at SCMA organized by Jane Chace Carroll Curator of Asian Art, Yao Wu.

Multiple color photographs by Matt Vought on each of the 96 pages.
