"inscription_translation": "Dmitry Dmitriyevich Shostakovich to Isaak Glikman / Zhukova /April 3, 1972\n\nDear Isaak Dav\u00efdovich,\n\nWould you please do me a great favor? I want to summon up all my strength and come to Leningrad to hear the performance of my Fifteenth Symphony.\n\nI should like you, please, tactfully to find out if and when it is due to be performed. It is rather awkward for me to do it myself. I am worried that Yevgeny Mravinsky\u2019s creative personality may not be in complete sympathy with the work, and that he may therefore treat it as cavalierly as he did the Thirteenth Symphony and the Second Cello Concerto. And so I should like you to find out everything you can about this matter. Then I would plan to come up 5 days or so before the first performance, attend the rehearsals, and afterwards go for about 7 or 8 days to Repino. I will wait for your news.\n\nIrina and I send our greetings to Vera Vasiliyevna.\n\nYour\nD. Shostakovich",

"description": "This riverscape in blue-and-green style with a waterfall and fishing boat is directly inspired by the 12th-century handscroll painting Cloudy Mountains by Mi Youren in the CMA\u2019s collection CMA 1933.220.
The calligraphy, a transcribed letter by the Russian composer Dmitry Shostakovich (1906\u20131975) about a performance of his Fifteenth Symphony, does not directly connect with the landscape, as an inscription would traditionally. This unexpected juxtaposition of Eastern and Western cultural traditions reflects Peng Wei\u2019s identity as a female contemporary artist and a guqin (zither) player.",
