Japanische Malerei aus der Sammlung Erwin von Baelz im Linden Museum Stuttgart

This catalogue compiled by the German Institute for Japanese Studies in August 1993 documents an exhibition organized in collaboration with the Linden-Museum Stuttgart and the Asahi Shimbun. It provides an introduction to 130 selected examples of late Edo and Meiji painting chosen from the nearly 6.000 items in the Baelz Collection. This collection has recently attracted special attention because it constitutes the largest collection of Japanese painting of this interim period, which is currently being reevaluated by the international community of art historians. The volume contains introductory
essays both in German and Japanese on Baelz’s life, work, and Japanese studies and on the relevance of the exhibits for the arts. Contributors: K. Brandt, H. Krebs, J. Kreiner, J. Sasaki.
