Chinese culture is diverse, longstanding and
ever-changing. Yet common ties unite. This exhibition offers an
approach to understanding Chinese culture through a study and
celebration of the aesthetics of Chinese art. Objects included reveal
key aesthetic clues that define the art of China, and distinguish it
from art produced by neighboring regions, or art made in China for the
export market. These aesthetic standards prevailed with the passing of
time and foreign influences. Ultimately they are a testament to the
power of art. The exhibition features 30 objects that date from the
Neolithic era to 2004 in a range of media including paintings, jade,
textiles, porcelain and prints.
