To celebrate the release of In Pursuit of Universalism, the first comprehensive, English-language study of modern art in early 20th century Japan, the JICC is pleased to welcome author Alicia Volk, Assistant Professor of Japanese Art History at the University of Maryland. As the inaugural recipient of the Phillips Book Prize (awarded by the Phillips Collection Center for the Study of Modern Art), Dr. Volk will discuss her theory of artistic modernism in Japan between 1900 and 1930, exploring the work of Yorozu Tetsugoro, which she sees as a polemic response to Japan's encounter with European art.
