Asiain summer colours - The National Gallery, Prague
06.06.2017 - 10.09.2017
Place: Kinský Palace
The rotation of the permanent exhibition of the Collection of Art of Asia and Africais conceived in summer motifs.
The summer atmosphere is reflected in plant motifs, such as Pods and a Butterfly by Ōide Tōkō (1841–1905),
but also in figural and social themes, such as the actor Yamashita Kinsaku in the role of a fan vendor
in a portrait by Torii Kiyomasu (1706–1763). The connection of a decorative folding screen with a modern
calligraphic scroll glorifying hydrangea blossoms is another genre combination.
