In the case of Jeffrey Montgomery and his collection of Japanese art, all three of these elements interact in a surprisingly harmonious way. This volume presents 170 works from the 12th to 20th centuries--including textiles, furniture, paintings, religious and everyday items--carefully selected from the over 1,000 objects held by Jeffrey Montgomery's splendid collection. Renowned worldwide, the Montgomery Collection displays an extraordinary richness and a very singular substance: it is a collection of \"oriental art,\" and at the same time it expresses a \"folk culture\" reinterpreted in very elevated aesthetic terms by the elegant and refined choices made by the collector who had dedicated his entire life to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Skira\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788857247724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288","brand":"Francesco Paolo Campione","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42277229232309,"sku":"9788857247724","price":46.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_be6172f8-f723-4d0f-9259-bff810c3835b.jpg?v=1657596275","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/japan-arts-and-life-the-montgomery-collection-9788857247724","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
