Japan Art  After negative experiences with 16th C. Portuguese and, later, 17th Century Dutch  traders- would be colonisers- Japan closed its doors to Europeans, allowing only a very limited access, very tightly controlled by the Japanese.   In 1852 Commodore Perry of the U.S. Navy was charged with opening up Japan to the world of European contact, trade  and influence.  This was finally achieved by Treaty at Kanagawa in 1854 in return for which the United States offered to train officers for a new Japanese Navy.The Japanese subsequently proved to be remarkably quick assimilators of European technologies while retaining their own cultural beliefs and practices. Religion in Japan.  Shinto and Buddhism are Japan’s major religions.  Shinto is as old as Japanese culture, while Buddhism was imported from the mainland in the 6th Century.  Since then the two religions have co-existed relatively harmoniously and have  each accommodated a...

 Australia vs NZ Landscape Different periods of conalisation, and art movements. The most interesting thing about comparing the two is how the aborigine people are depicted compared to how Maori and pasicfica people are depicted. As in austalira they are depicted in a way where they are helpless and white people are converting them into their culture as if they are helping them. Unlike NZ they are depicted in a more romantic way and fetishist way. It also shows their motives towards each place. As Australia paintings are more showing off how they are changing Australia and conalising it, unlike NZ where it is romaticaisted and exsotic making people want to go there. Australia depiction on people are also more romantic and non-factual, where NZ ones are factual and recording like.

A very interesting thing about this documentary is seeing all the sides of the art world and their take on it, the artist, collectors, and the dealers. There was a small bit about the museums but it wasn't too much as it wasn't viewing them in a good light.  One of the most interesting things about the documentary was the structure of how they discussed each topic and brought it to light. Blurred lines inside the art world are described as an overview of the major players in the contemporary art market and of the economic factors that motivate those individuals and institutions." according to IMDb The interviewing side of the documentary is very relaxed and open about how they all feel about the competitiveness of the art world, and how most artists said the same thing ...
