Nature Unbound: Flora and Fauna in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Art
June 19, 2010 – October 18, 2010
Presenting selected paintings, prints, ceramics, lacquers, and photographs, this exhibition aims to showcase various renditions of nature—birds, insects, beasts, flower, and plants—in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean art. The works on display exemplify different ways in which nature is represented, from observation based studies to symbolic devices of auspicious messages, manifestations of virtue, to ornamental motifs. A perfect outing for summer, this exhibition offers a diverse representation of nature the rich meanings embedded within that is both visually pleasant and intellectually fulfilling.
