"The Art of Twentieth Century Zen: Paintings and Calligraphy by Japanese Masters"
2000-10-14 until 2001-01-14
Minneapolis Institute of Arts
Minneapolis, MN, USA

This exhibition includes more than 70 paintings and calligraphies created by 14 Japanese Zen masters (thirteen monks and one nun) who are considered among the most important Zen artists and teachers of the modern era. Among them are Nakahara Nantenbo (Toju Zenchu, 1839-1925), Deiryu Kutsu (Kanshu Sojun, 1895-1954), Takeda Mokurai (1854-1930), Yamamoto Gempo (1866-1961), and the present abbot of Tofukuji temple, Fukushima Keido (born 1933).

This is the first exhibition in the United States devoted to twentieth-century Zen paintings and calligraphy from Japan. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated color catalogue published by Shambahala Publications.

The exhibition and national tour, organized by the Marsh Art Gallery, University of Richmond, and co-curated by Audrey Yoshiko Seo and Stephen Addiss, is made possible in part with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the University of Richmond Cultural Affairs Committee.
