August 29 through October 11
Symbolism and Simplicity: Korean Art from the Won-Kyung Cho Collection

Relatively few Korean works of art have survived the devastation of war, political occupation and social turmoil of the last one hundred years. Symbolism and Simplicity, drawn from the collection of Dr. Won-Kyung Cho of New York, provides a rare opportunity to view and gain appreciation for Korean art. Ninety paintings and porcelains dating from the 16th to the 20th century are included in the exhibition.

Hospice: A Photographic Inquiry

January 23 through March 7, 1999
Masami Teraoka: From Tradition to Technology, the Floating World Comes of Age

For more than 20 years, Masami Teraoka has created watercolors that mimic the style and conventions of 19th-century Japanese woodblock prints as they satirize the clash between Eastern and Western cultures or draw attention to social issues such as the destruction of the environment and the ravages of AIDS. During an extended visit to Europe in 1992, Teraoka found a darker model for his AIDS-related works: Northern Renaissance art, particularly the hallucinatory visions of Hieronymus Bosch. "From Tradition to Technology" includes 35 painting and presents a retrospective of the artist's work to date.

March 15 through April 4
Student Exhibition 1999

The annual juried exhibition is open to all Brown students and includes works in all media and genres.
