SUMMARY:Spotlight Series | Framing within Art History
DESCRIPTION:MFA Spotlight Series | Framing Art History with Casey Broker and Noah Cox\nJoin us in the Rococo Gallery as Casey Broker and Noah Cox direct our attention to something found in every art museum but not often recognized as a work of art – the frame. Frames come in all shapes\, sizes\, and colors and have existed in the history of art since Ancient Egypt. Over time\, they have evolved in style and function\, switched between artworks\, been discarded\, or been preserved. In this intimate conversation\, we’ll learn more about the history of frames and discover how we can connect to the ones at the MFA.  \n  \n\n\n\n\nMFA Spotlight Series | Framing Art History with Casey Broker and Noah Cox\nTuesday\, April 1\, 2025\n11:00 AM–12:00 PM\nFREE for MFA Members; Included with the cost of admission for Not-Yet Members\nRegistration required. \nREGISTER \nNot yet a member?\nBecome a member today and enjoy all the benefits membership at the MFA offers!  \nMFA Members enjoy free admission for an entire year\, early access to special exhibitions\, discounts at the MFA Shop and Café Clementine\, special member-only exclusive events\, and more.

SUMMARY:Cultural Appreciation and Appropriation of Kimono in Western Fashion and Art
DESCRIPTION:Cultural Appreciation and Appropriation of Kimono in Western Fashion and Art\nKimono is a traditional Japanese dress which has a strict dress code\, layers of socio-cultural symbolism\, and regulated aesthetic expressions. Since the Japonisme movement in nineteenth-century Europe\, Western painters had been influenced by Ukiyo-e\, Japanese woodblock printing\, which depicted women in kimono during the Edo period (1603-1868).  \nVincent Van Gogh painted a courtesan in her distinct kimono and hairstyle in his “Courtesane” (1887)\, and Claude Monet painted his wife in a red kimono gown in “La Japonaise” (1875). Designers\, such as Paul Poiret and Jeanne Lanvin\, designed clothes that were loose-fitting like kimono\, and imitated its geometrical shapes.  \nThe Western fascination with kimono continues in the twenty-first century\, such as Dior’s kimono-inspired couture collection\, and Victoria’s Secret’s “Sexy Little Geisha” collection. With the development of social media\, protests and criticisms against the use of kimono in the creative field have been loud and explicit.  \nIn this presentation\, Yuniya Kawamura examines where we draw a line between appreciation and appropriation\, and compares and contrasts different viewpoints between Japanese-Americans and native Japanese who were born and bred in Japan.   \nCultural Appreciation and Appropriation of Kimono in Western Fashion and Art\nYuniya Kawamura\nSunday\, April 27\, 2025\n2:00 PM–3:00 PM\nMarly Room\nMuseum of Fine Arts\, St. Petersburg\n255 Beach Drive NE\, St. Petersburg FL 33701 \nFREE for MFA Members; Included with the cost of admission for Not-Yet Members.

Bring the whole family! \nBECOME A MEMBER \n\nABOUT YUNIYA KAWAMURA \n \nYuniya Kawamura is professor of sociology at the Fashion Institute of Technology (F.I.T.)/State University of NY. She is the author of “Cultural Appropriation in Fashion and Entertainment” (Bloomsbury 2021). She has also published “The Japanese Revolution in Paris Fashion” (Bloomsbury 2004) and “Fashioning Japanese Subcultures” (Bloomsbury 2012\, 2025). She is currently completing a book on “Sebastian Masuda: A Biography” (Anthem Press 2025). Her current research includes Japanese Ukiyo-e\, Kabuki\, and the Japonisme movement in the 19th century European art world. She earned her PhD in Sociology from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS) at Columbia University and is also professionally trained in fashion design and technical design at Bunka School of Fashion in Japan and F.I.T. in NY.   \n\nImages: \nTanabata No Take (1843) by Yoshitama Utagawa\, Source: Tokyo Metropolitan Library (archive.library.metro.tokyo.lg.jp) \nCourtesane by Vincent Van Gogh Source: Van Gogh Museum (vangoghmuseum.nl) \nSorbet evening dress\, 1913 (back oblique view).
