Heavenly and Earthly Delights: The Essence of Nature in Brush and Ink (Thu, Jul 24)
Worcester Art Museum, 55 Salisbury Street, Worcester, MA
Folding screens have long offered Japanese artists a challenge to create large-scale painting compositions. These works highlight the differences between subdued Chinese-inspired ink paintings favored by samurai, monks and literatidepicting the spiritually symbolic tiger-and-dragon and idealized landscape scenesand colorful, decorative Japanese-style paintings, commissioned by wealthy middle-class patronsdepicting pleasurable pursuits, seasonal customs and stylish kimono. Making a dramatic appearance across the expanse of a pair of folding screens, the dragon and tiger both confront and complement each other. Respectively symbolic of heavenly and earthly power, the beasts were often depicted on screens that were used as backdrops for powerful warlords and Buddhist abbots, when receiving guests in castles and temples. Cost: Free with Museum admission. Sundays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, through Oct 26.
