Poetic Landscapes: Two Chinese Albums

March 6, 1998 - July 5, 1998

Museum: Sackler Gallery

Location: Northeast Galleries

On view are 21 illustrations from a Ming dynasty album "8 Views of Xiao-Xiang" & "Landscapes Inspired by Tang Poems" by Liu Yu (1620-c. 1689). Both works are from the permanent collection. The artists who created these albums were followers of the late Ming dynasty (1368-1644) Wu School, known primarily for its genteel, lightly colored landscapes and fluent, graceful calligraphy.
