Takeout Tuesdays: Lunchtime Conversations About Art
Online via Zoom
Ni Zan’s Melancholy Landscape
In the 14th century, famine swept southern China, and millions were displaced. Corruption led to a revolt, establishing the Ming dynasty. Join Docent Kasey Yang as she tells of the scholar elite response to this period of loss by looking closely at Ni Zan’s life and the expressions in his 1368 work River Pavilion, Mountain Colors.
