Cleveland Museum exhibition: To the River’s South in Japanese Painting
December 15, 2023–June 2, 2024
Some of the paintings and painted ceramics in gallery 235A show how Japanese artists of the past portrayed two landmarks in Jiangnan, Mount Lu and West Lake, and Xiao-Xiang, a place located physically west of Jiangnan but an important touch point in artistic productions from that region. The installation features artworks from the 1500s to 1700s, including some that have not been on view for more than a decade.
