Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The art market fell dormant as the major Japanese art dealer, Yamanaka and Company, suffered the wartime seizure of its assets. Academic research on Japanese art dwindled to almost nothing at institutions of higher learning and at art museums, as curators and art scholars joined the military effort. Robert T. Paine, curator of Japanese art at the Boston Museum, served in the US Navy, while Harvard's Langdon Warner joined the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives unit of the Army.
