Streams and Mountains without End, 1100-1150, Cleveland Museum of Art: Chinese ArtStreams and Mounta
Streams and Mountains without End, 1100-1150, Cleveland Museum of Art: Chinese ArtStreams and Mountains without End was a landmark acquisition of 1953, made just a year after Sherman Lee had returned to Cleveland as curator of Oriental art. He acquired it with the intention to provide “a more than adequate foundation for a fine collection of Chinese landscape painting.” This impressive work demonstrates the culmination of stylistic developments in Chinese monumental landscape painting following the Northern Song tradition. It represents a journey through a landscape, making it a fitting metaphor for Lee’s journey of discovery and achievement over a lifetime.Size: Image: 35.1 x 213 cm (13 13/16 x 83 7/8 in.); Overall: 35.1 x 1103.8 cm (13 13/16 x 434 9/16 in.)Medium: handscroll, ink and slight color on silkhttps://clevelandart.org/art/1953.126 -- source link
