Indepth Arts News:
"Unfolding Beauty: Japanese Screens from the Cleveland Museum of Art"
2001-07-15 until 2001-09-16
Cleveland Museum of Art
Cleveland, OH,
USA
The CMA's holdings of Japanese folding screens (byo¯bu) are among the finest outside Japan. Dating from the late
15th through early 19th centuries, the screens or pairs of screens chosen for this exhibition include Japanese-style
colorful compositions as well as more subdued ink paintings that focus on Chinese subjects.
Hanging scrolls created by
some of the same painters, as well as works in lacquer, ceramic, and metalwork, complement the screens. Most of
these paintings are quite large (a pair of screens may be 25 feet wide), and all are susceptible to damage from
exposure to light, so the exhibition will be shown in two groups or rotations of 12-15 works each, July 15-Aug. 12 and
Aug. 14-Sept. 16.
