Online via Zoom

 

Let's explore the symbolic meanings and messages in traditional Chinese artworks.

Bats, gourds, peaches, ribbons, and monkeys on horses are frequently depicted in Chinese art. They often represent wishes for good fortune and other auspicious messages. Let’s delve into the fabulous collection of Chinese Art at the Asian Art Museum to learn the meaning behind these rebuses (visual puns) and symbolic messages.

This one-hour virtual lecture by one of our community speaker docents is followed by a half-hour Q&A.
