In East Asia, paralleling the interaction with Western art, traditional art continues. And script remains an integral component of landscape paintings and depictions of figures, flowers, and birds. Brush, ink, and mineral pigments produce masterpieces on paper. The ink paintings presented here span a period of 100 years. The works impressively demonstrate the protean nature of painting in the Chinese style and thereby serve as a mirror of the historical transformations China has lived through since the end of the Opium War.
