Sommaire complet
Seminars EFEO Paris
On Monday 14th March (from 11h to 12h30) : François Lachaud (EFEO) speaks on « Une vie exemplaire : Itō Jakuchū (1716-1800), peintre bouddhiste au XVIIe siècle », à la Maison de l'Asie (22, avenue du Président Wilson, 75116 Paris, 1st Floor room).
vincent.paillusson@efeo.net

The painter Itō Jakuchū (1716-1800) whose bicentenary is being celebrated, has become one of the best known of Japanese artists. The last four décades of research on this painter, long considered one of the eccentric figures, and marginal, have given the opportunity to redisover his œuvre in all its originality and also in his connection - intimate and constant- with the Buddhism of the Zen schools of Kyōto and of Uji (seat of the Ōbaku school introduced by Chinese monks in the 17th century) with which he nourished his life in the course of these intimate relationships. His work as an artist examined as a biographical sketch brings to life in its wake a whole world of Chinese monks, of scholars, of collectors, of antiquarians and literati.Through his pictoral genius it makes it possible to grasp the great importance of Buddhism in modern artistic creation.

The thematics of the monthly seminar of the EFEO are recorded in those of the seminar « Asies » (EFEO - EHESS - EPHE) taking place at the Maison de l'Asie, every Monday from, 9h to 11h. The subject of the sessions of 7th and 14th March is Le bouddhisme en Asie.
