Prof. Clark's lecture on Japanese Art, Jan. 13th, was one of the many treats in the lecture course on Aesthetics, Criticism, and History of Fine Arts.
He is an admirer of the Art of Japan. He said, "Tis probable that no nation as a whole is more artistic and has more of a love for the beautiful, than Japan. All classes from childhood are refined to art." Their art is suggestive rather than representative; decorative rather than pictorial; assymmetry takes the place of the old fashioned idea of symmetry; their work is not minute but every stroke is sure and suggestive, this latter coming from scientific knowledge. Gekko is their greatest artist at present. How to make boquets is a part of their etiquette. Their arrangement of flowers is very artistic.
One of his last points discussed was, oddity when refined, is pleasant to one's taste.
