Indepth Arts News: "Streams and Mountains Without End: East Asian Landscape Painting" 2000-11-25 until 2001-08-27 Harvard University Art Museums, Arthur M. Sackler Museum Cambridge, MA, USA United States of America
Drawing upon works from the
Sackler's permanent collection, as
well as from one of the most
distinguished private collections of
Chinese painting in the country,
this exhibition will display an
impressive array of East Asian
landscape paintings.
Typically comprised of towering mountains and flowing streams,
landscapes emerged as the principal subject of Chinese painting by
the Song dynasty (960-1279) and have remained preeminent
amongst the arts of East Asia for over 1000 years. The Chinese-style
depiction of landscapes spread in the 14th and 15th centuries,
soaring to popularity in Korea during the Choson dynasty
(1392-1910) and in Japan during the Muromachi period (1392-1573).
Landscapes - whether real or imagined - reflected the philosophical
search for the principles that underlie the unity and harmony of
nature, a search intricately linked to Daoism.
