Kaleidoscope of Colors in Asian Art
Harn Museum of Art,Gainesville,United States
Kaleidoscope of Colors in Asian Art offers a unique opportunity to delve into the interplay between art and color, as well as the cultural and artistic connections within and beyond the vast Asian continent. Organizing an array of works (including ceramics and statues) spanning the 12th century BCE to the present day around four key colors—green, blue, red and gold—the thematic display examines those colors from transcultural and transregional viewpoints. It sheds light on each color as a representation of natural resources, wellsprings of inspiration and imagination, emblems of religious and political authority, and symbols of prestige and status. Harn Museum of Art, Gainesville, US, through September 7.
