Treasures of Asian Art (Lecture Series)

This March, please join Triton Museum of Art Executive Director, Preston Metcalf for a special Art History journey, surveying the rich heritage of Asian Art. Each presentation of this four week series will focus on a different region, all of which interplay with and complement one another.

Week one will showcase the art of India, from the earliest portrayals in the Indus Valley to Modern day.

Week two will cover the expansive sweep of the Art of China, from the Great Wall and beyond.

In week three Preston will guide us through the historic arts of Japan.

And in week four, we will look at the arts of other countries in Southeast Asia and Korea.

In addition to his role as the Triton Museum’s Executive Director and resident Art Historian, Preston lived and taught in Japan, has curated exhibitions in Japan and Korea, and taught Asian Art History at Mission College and San Jose City College. He brings decades of study and research to this area of art which so greatly impacts our Western culture today.
