Join assistant curator Kit Brooks for a discussion of the exhibition Feathered Ink, which explores how Japanese artists over centuries have depicted birds in hanging scroll paintings, folding screens, ceramics, and printed books. Plus, learn about a surprising connection between the painting Pigeons at Sensoji by Watanabe Seitei and the exhibition An Italian Impressionist in Paris at the Phillips Collection.
