Tausend Pinsel, ein Stil! Das Haus Kano und Malerei als Familiengeschäft
In the organizer's words:
Kano - for almost four hundred years between the 1480s and 1880s, this family name stood for a coherent, recognizable style in Japan as a brand for images of power.
Organized as a family-like association of workshops under the direction of a male head, the Kano network was able to mobilize a large number of painters at any time from the 17th century onwards, organizing even the most extensive large-scale projects, such as the painting of palatial residences, on a division of labour and completing them in the shortest possible time. The possibility of taking talented students into the House of Kano through adoption and often marriage to female family members ensured its continuity and regularly provided new talent. It was not until the decline of the military aristocracy in the 19th century that the Kano family came to an end.
This temporary exhibition shows a selection of Kano paintings from the collection of the Museum of Asian Art.
"A thousand brushes, one style! The House of Kano and Painting as a Family Business" is a temporary presentation of the Museum of Asian Art of the National Museums in Berlin at the Humboldt Forum.
