This exhibition, drawn primarily from the permanent collection,
demonstrates the influence of ancient Asian masters that is evident in
twentieth century art of China and Japan. Ceramic works from the
Neolithic Dawenkou Culture (4th - 3rd millennia BCE) and the Qing Dynasty
(1644-1911) in China, as well as the Jomon Period (ca. 1000 - ca. 300 BCE)
and the Edo Period (1615-1868) in Japan will help to visualize the bridge
between ancient and modern traditions. Chinese paintings and calligraphy,
Japanese prints of the Edo, Meiji (1868-1912) and Taisho (1912-1926)
periods, and contemporary works further illustrate how the past can serve
as an inspiration or a deterrent. Ceramic objects will be displayed
throughout the entire exhibition period, but works on paper and silk will
change in April.
