Musei d’arte orientale

in Asia, America ed Europa

Teaching Modern and Contemporary Asian Art

La scarsa conoscenza delle culture diverse da quelle occidentali fa sì che, da un lato, non ci rendiamo conto dell’enorme patrimonio storico delle altre civiltà, e, dall’ altro, non riusciamo quasi a collocarle nel tempo e nello spazio. Confondiamo i manufatti natufiani con quelli Yomon, Shang o della civiltà dell’Indo o anatoliche. Non riconosciamo ciò che è cananeo, ittita, sumero, babilonese o Zhou; assiro, medo, persiano, Qin, Maurya, Gandhara…

Una buona guida, perché in scala ridotta e sintetica, potrebbe essere costituito dal Museo di Arte Orientale di Torino.

È comunque impressionante la massa di capolavori orientali conservati dovunque in Europa e in America: una prova in più del carattere predatorio del colonialismo.
