content: [2] Dr. George Scanlon visited Egypt beginning in 1950. He conducted archaeological excavations in Fustat between 1964 and 1980 through nine seasons. It is possible that he acquired the Fustat sherds during this time period. The card found with the collection states, “ex-collection of George Scanlon 1968, $125 acq'd in Cairo." It is unclear whether George Scanlon acquired these sherds in 1968 or whether the 1968 year refers to when Dorothy Shepherd Payer bought them.

content: Formerly attributed to He Chong (傳)何充 (active ca. 1078-1085)

label: Label

content: Lu Meiniang (Eyebrow Maiden Lu) was a concubine of the Tang emperor who later became a Daoist immortal. Allegedly she was born with long, threadlike eyebrows--hence her name. With a sheer white robe and the gauze cap of a Confucian scholar, Lu is dressed in the attire common among Tang court ladies. The slender proportions of the figure and sharp angular brushstrokes of the drapery folds reflect the influence of late Northern Song figure paintings.

content: In these screens flower beds stretch in narrow, undulating bands across a ground of gold leaf unadorned except for hovering insects. The sparse composition echoes in much larger scale an established style of floral under-painting rendered on paper intended for use in handscrolls of imperial poetry anthologies, on which a calligrapher would inscribe the poems in the empty spaces. The paintings are probably the work of an unidentified artist of the Tosa school of court painters, based in Kyoto.

label: Edition/State

content: 5, 4

content: Whistler arrived in Paris in 1855 during the first phase of a radical reconfiguration of the French capital that took place over the course of the next half century. Swept up in fresh currents of naturalism and realism, he joined Gustave Courbet, Henri Fantin-Latour, Edouard Manet, and other artists seeking motifs drawn from everyday life in the oldest, poorest parts of the city. Visiting a squalid neighborhood that had yet to be revitalized, Whistler began his fifty-year commitment to depicting rag shops and junk stores. He later added figures to this empty space in 1861 before exhibiting the print in London.

content: Whistler etchings are identified by "G" numbers as assigned in "James McNeill Whistler: The Etchings, a catalogue raisonné," by Margaret F. McDonald, Grischka Petri, Meg Hausberg, and Joanna Meacock (University of Glasgow, 2012), http://etchings.arts.gla.ac.uk. This print is G29 state 4 of 5.

label: Label

content: The city of Edo (modern Tokyo) had grown by the early nineteenth century to a metropolis with a population of more than one million. The center of commerce and government administration under the Tokugawa shoguns, Edo was visited by many travelers and was the required residence in alternate years for the daimyo, the warrior rulers of provincial domains. The artist Hiroshige is primarily known as a designer of commercially published woodblock prints, the popular art of the Edo period (1615-1868).

content: He produced many series of prints on the famous sites along the Tokaido, the great highway between Edo and Kyoto, the imperial capital. Later in life, he turned to the famous sites of the city of Edo, a popular subject that culminated in the print series One Hundred Famous Sites of Edo.

content: In these screens, each panel has a separate painting that is mounted to one panel of the screen with a label identifying the scene.

content: 16th-17th century

label: Period

content: Ming dynasty

content: Formerly attributed to Li Di (active late 12th-early 13th century)

content: The philosopher Confucius (551-479 B.C.E.) once observed that pine and cypress are the last trees to wither in winter. Consequently, these two hardy evergreens became parallel symbols of longevity in traditional China, representing the virtuous gentleman who endures adversity with fortitude.

content: While this painting depicts all three "friends of winter," the frigid scene is dominated by two ancient, weathered cypresses that grow on the slopes above a steep precipice. A tall stand of snowy bamboo peeps from behind some large boulders, while on the edge of the cliff at right, a bare, twisted plum tree provides a roost for several groups of small birds huddling against the cold. Various other birds are scattered throughout the painting: a pair of mandarin ducks makes an improbable nest among the icy grass in the foreground; below the first cypress, two magpies peck in the snow for food, while three of their brethren perch on the broken trunk and upper branches of the second tree. Across a vast chasm, snow-covered peaks shine whitely against the dark, wintry sky.

content: Landscape paintings such as this, with most of the composition on one side and large empty areas devoted to atmosphere, originated in the Southern Song dynasty (1127-1279). The current painting is a later reworking of an old composition, which may date to that time.

content: Freer Gallery of Art, bequeathed by Agnes E. Meyer in 1970 [3]

content: [1] The painting was published and illustrated in Pang Yuanji’s catalogue, Antique Famous Chinese Paintings Collected by P’ang Lai Ch’en, vol. 1 (Shanghai, Privately published by Pang Yuanji, 1916), no. 26: “Li Ti, Old Cedar and Winter Birds.”

content: [2] In 1916 Pang Yuanji, with the assistance of Pang Zanchen and Seaouke Yue, sent a group of paintings illustrated in Antique Famous Chinese Paintings Collected by P’ang Lai Ch’en catalogue to New York and showed them to Charles Freer. See Ingrid Larsen, “‘Don’t Send Ming or Later Pictures’: Charles Lang Freer and the First Major Collection of Chinese Painting in an American Museum,” Ars Orientalis vol. 40 (2011), p. 23. Freer made a selection of paintings for his collection and advised the Meyers and Louisine Havemeyer with their acquisitions. Freer’s copy of the 1916 Pang catalogue includes pencil annotations indicating that this painting was purchased by Agnes E. Meyer.

content: [3] See Deed of Gift, signed by Agnes E. Meyer’s children and dated to May 31, 1971, where the painting is listed under no. 1, copy in object file.

content: This atmospheric landscape provides a close and dramatic view of the steep slope of Arashiyama, a mountain on the banks of the Oi River that was a favorite site for excursions by the residents of Kyoto. The artist has rendered the snowy scene by leaving the silk unpainted, to represent the whiteness of snow. The effects of age and exposure have darkened the silk to mute the original effect. The striking realism of this painting comes in part from the artist's knowledge of European painting techniques and visual ideas, which he combines here with traditional Japanese materials and brush methods.

content: [1] See “Catalogue of Indo-Persian Pictures and Manuscripts, Principally of the Fifteenth, Sixteenth, and Seventeenth Centuries by Native Artists, Collected by H. B. Hanna” [book], (London: Dowdeswell and Dowdeswells, 1890).

content: Colonel Henry Bathurst Hanna (1839-1914) was an officer in the British military and a collector of Indian paintings. Born in Petersfield, Hampshire, England, Hanna’s family later moved to London, where he was baptized in 1851. Beginning in 1857, Hanna served as a commissioned officer in the Indian Army and retired with the rank of Colonel in 1889. After his retirement, he resided in London and Petersfield with his younger sisters. According to Hanna, he began collecting Indian paintings around the time of the Indian Rebellion (1857-1859). See letter from Henry Bathurst Hanna to Charles Lang Freer, dated April 10, 1908 [sic, 1907], p. 3, Box 17, Folder No. 10, Charles Lang Freer Papers, National Museum of Asian Art Archives, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.

content: Hou Xiansheng, known in Japanese as Gama Sennin, was one of many Chinese Daoist immortals who were assimilated into the repertoire of Japanese popular legends. Like the eccentric Zen Buddhist sages Kanzan and Jittoku (Chinese, Hanshan and Shide), Gama Sennin is portrayed in disheveled garments and is always accompanied by his three-legged toad, who rides nestled in his unkempt hair. Soga Shohaku, one of the important individualist painters who emerged in the eighteenth century, created this lively rendering. Shohaku cultivated a deliberately rough, spontaneous painting style that was full of energy and boldness. Here he sketches the cloak with just a few strokes of black ink while defining the details with swift strokes of lighter-toned ink.
