Neoliberalism in Art

San Antonio Museum of Art was started in the year 1981. The site was originally occupied by the Lone Star Brewing Company because of its proximity to the San Antonio River.

Japan and the West have been having strong ties for successive years. Most of the Japanese exhibition is preserved in the Lenora and Walter F. Brown Asian wing (SAMA, 2011). The work of Paul Jacoulet is correctly displayed in the SAMA museum. The museum boosts fine and detailed work of Japanese lacquer. Palanquin is one of the Japanese Art that caught my eyes. The piece of work is made of wood with Lacquer and gold leaf. It has gilt copper mounts painted skillfully to display the Japanese culture. This product is dated back to the Edo period in the early nineteenth century.

The table cabinet was a splendid Japanese product in the SAMA museum. The table is characterized with temple scenes of the Okuno factory in the year eighteenth and nineteenth century (SAMA, 2011). The product was used in the Meiji period and has Iron and gold inlay. Different scenes of the Japanese ancient buildings were critical in the Japanese and the West relationship. The scenes were from the Kyoto and Rakuchu Rakugai-Zu in Japan dating back to the sixteenth century. The Japanese buildings had limited windows and were skillfully modeled to display the Japanese culture and the representation of an ancient Japanese capital City (SAMA, 2011). The streets were characterized with crowded people. The Japanese culture welcomed people from different cultures. This is correctly displayed when Portuguese merchant with his black servant are recognized in the ancient Japanese society.  The people of Japan origin had fashionable Western clothing indicating the ancient relationship between Japan and the West.

The Gion festival is an ancient celebration of the Gion district sponsored by the Kyoto merchants (Saantonionmag.com., 2011). It celebrates the peace that brought prosperity in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The artifacts also display the Burgeoning merchant class clamored to demonstrate the ancient Japanese lives. The landscape of Kyoto and the Rakuchu Rakugai-Zu indicates the activities and the landscape of the ancient Japan. Satsuma vase was another notable feature in the SAMA museum. Satsuma vase dated back to the Japan Meiji period in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries (SAMA, 2011). The product was earthenware with gilt and colored enamels.

The Japanese Satsuma vase was characterized with various decorations of animals. Dragons and long tailed phoenixes are among the animals on the massive vase. The images of cranes were also identified in the body of the vessel. Birds’ symbolized long lives were engraved intricately in a cloud pattern. Turtle’s images were also part of the vase decoration. Turtles were believed to symbolize long life and good luck amongst waves. Gold played pivotal role in the vase; Chrysanthemums and enamels had gold paintings (SAMA, 2011) and displayed beauty of the Japanese country. The gold and colors were critical in the Satsuma vase. Satsuma ware was characterized by detailed painted imagery; which had meanings in the artifact. This is a product that has stood the test of time. Satsuma vase is a tool of trade between Japan and the West even in the present age.

The Art of Paul Jacoulet (1902-1960) was a notable feature in the SAMA museum. Paul Jacoulet a foreigner from France learnt the Japanese woodwork; and printmaking in the standards of the Japanese tradition. Paul Jacoulet lived in the Yokohama with his French parents and travelled extensively in the Asia-Pacific regions. Most of his years were spent in Japan. Paul Jacoulet had many childhood ailments which prevented him from attending normal schooling schedules. He learnt the Japanese language and the Japanese Arts (SAMA, 2011). The common Japanese Arts were the; calligraphy, ink paintings and the music.  Paul Jacoulet developed powerful Japanese artist skills due to the traditional and early exposure in the Japanese culture (Mutualart.com, 2011).

World War II divided the work of Paul Jacoulet into pre-war (1934-1941) and post war (1947-1960) periods. The world of Paul Jacoulet displays the cultures of East and West nature in the ancient relationship between Japan and the West. The images of the wood block prints of Paul Jacoulet display vanishing cultures and traditions. Images of Mr. Keen and Mr. Lee were also substantial in the sturdy of the relationship between Japan and the West. These were some of the distinctive Arts of Paul Jacoulet.

In conclusion, Japan and the West have been having a close relationship for many years. This has been brought to light by the ancient Portuguese merchant and the black servant. Jacoulet and the parents were of France origin that migrated from the West. The migration of people from the West to Japan displays the cordial relationship that has existed for years (SAMA, 2011). The slavery trade saw many Japanese people move to the United States of America. Japanese and West association has a long history in tow.
