“Painting Enlightenment: Healing Visions of the Heart Sutra – The Buddhist Art of Iwasaki Tsuneo”

Morikami Theater
Free for museum members
Enjoy a Morikami Member Exclusive event, a live virtual lecture in our theater on our new exhibition Painting Enlightenment: Experiencing Wisdom and Compassion through Art and Science with Curator, Paula Arai.
Animated by stories about the biologist and visionary artist Iwasaki Tsuneo (1917-2002), this immersive presentation brings to life his motivations and the resonances he observed between scientific and Buddhist views of reality: interdependence, impermanence, and the fluid nature of phenomena. Ranging from classical Buddhist iconography to ephemeral beauties of nature and microscopic and telescopic wonders, he embedded his paintings with insights into the healing power of wisdom of compassion.
