Fish, Silk, Tea, Bamboo: Cultivating an Image of China

The Peabody Essex Museum,
East India Square (161 Essex St),
Massachusetts, Massachusetts, USA
Mar 14, 2013 To Nov 22, 2014


Detail: Through delicate works on paper and other select objects, explore four essential motifs Westerners often associate with China -- fish, silk, tea, bamboo. Each was cultivated for artistic expression as well as profit. All helped shape the emerging concept of the Middle Kingdom in 18th-century Europe.

Support provided by the East India Marine Associates of the Peabody Essex Museum.
