Asian Art Museum: program highlights, Oct-Dec 05
Fang Zhaoling: A Life in Painting
October 1–November 13, 2005
This Hong Kong artist is widely recognized in Europe and Asia for her refreshingly “naive” style and direct approach to traditional Chinese painting, as well as for her politically charged subjects, such as war and peace, the Vietnamese “boat people,” and the environment.
A group of Fang Zhaoling’s paintings, recently added to the museum’s collection as a gift from the artist’s children, comprises the first retrospective of her work in the U.S. Organized by the Asian Art Museum.
Traditions Unbound: Groundbreaking Painters of Eighteenth-Century Kyoto
December 3, 2005–February 26, 2006
Eighteenth-century Kyoto saw the blossoming of an urban culture of extraordinary richness, diversity, and originality, in which art works of the highest level were produced. The range of styles that Kyoto embraced in this period is remarkable.
That range is the result of creative transformation and tasteful commercialization of the courtly arts, the selective adaptation of foreign styles from China and the West to traditional Japanese painting, and fearless recognition of the individuality and originality hidden in the minds of artists.
This exhibition showcases some of the most impressive paintings produced in Kyoto in this period. They are selected from collections of prestigious museums and private holdings in Japan as well as in the United States.
Please note: The artworks in this exhibition are divided into two separate installations. The first grouping of paintings is on view December 3, 2005 through January 8, 2006. The second grouping is on view January 11 through February 26, 2006. The galleries will be closed on Tuesday, January 10 to accommodate the installation of the second grouping. Organized by the Asian Art Museum.
