The Cleveland Museum of Art (organizer) (July 16, 2018-January 20, 2019). --- LEGACY EXHIBITIONS * Cleveland Museum of Art, (3/27-8/28/11); "The Lure of Painted Poetry" cat. no. 49 --- PROVENANCE --- fun fact: digital description: wall description: A prunus vase (maebyeong in Korean; meiping in Chinese) was a tall flower vase meant to hold a single branch of plum tree blossoms. The maebyeong was especially popular among the elite classes of the Goryeo and Joseon periods as well as the Chinese Song and Ming periods. The lotus represents purity both in Buddhism and Neo-Confucianism. In the Goryeo period, the Buddhist interpretation was more influential and dominant because of the popularity of the religious text the Lotus Sutra. Here, a lotus blossom was inlaid with a lightly abstract, outlined design on one side of the vase and silver grass on the other. Tiny cranes in a flower petal-shaped curtain fly down toward the lotus. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS Itō, Ikutarō, and Judith G. Smith.
