    Additional information

    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.
