Mountains and Water: Traditions in East Asian Art
Opening reception: 5:00–7:00 pm, Thursday, September 3
Mountains and water are at the heart of East Asian arts and culture. They form an essential framework for engaging with the natural world and understanding people’s place within it. This exhibition explores the wide-ranging significance, symbolism, and sacrality of mountains and water in China, Korea, and Japan. It considers landscapes and scholar’s stones as both scholastic objects of aesthetic consideration and supernatural sites of cosmic power.
Generous support and donations for this exhibition provided by John C. Copoulos ’73.
This exhibition is curated by Joseph Leach, curator of collections and exhibitions.
