New York's Guggenheim Museum



THE THIRD MIND___
American Artists Contemplate Asia, 1860-1989
January-April 2009






















Fascinating: Japanese influence in Edward Steichen's early work
Memorable: Asian and Japanese aesthetics in Arthur Wesley Dow and Langdon Coburn light treatment on prints (Grand Canyon, Regent's Canal)
Most revealing: John Cage; when writings and plastic arts precede sound
