Oriental Arts In America: In the environmental arts, landscape design has long been brilliant, but the confluence of architectural styles—Hawaiian huts and temple precincts, Oriental Arts in America temple styles, Western architecture—produced no recognizable synthesis, although the remarkable State Capitol, completed in 1969, offers the hope of such a development. Western music wiped out what there was of Hawaiian music without leading to a new blended style. (What is thought of as Hawaiian popular music is largely European.) Although traditional skills such as Japanese carpentry and woodworking survived the acculturation, this was not true of Okinawan pottery making, Chinese opera, and other arts. In recent years, however, a certain combination of Oriental Arts in America and Western techniques in the graphic arts has produced some unusual and inventive painting.The exhibit inside the pergola is a sample of a blending of the fine arts and the applied arts, similar to Architectural Art. The Foundation for Community Arts wants to expand this exhibit with more artworks and present this in an appropriate venue in the coming months. It is presented by The Foundation for Community Arts with the Georgia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. |
