In East Asian art, nearly every aspect of an artwork’s design is encoded with meaning. Join associate curator Yan Yang for a talk about a new installation in the East Asian art gallery that investigates images—often drawn from the natural world and from literature—that convey rich information through allusion and wordplay. The installation includes paintings, textiles, and ceramics from China, Korea, and Japan.

This gallery talk is part of our New on View series, highlighting recent gallery installations and presenting new insights into recent acquisitions or old favorites.
