The Metropolitan Museum's exhibition - "Another World Lies Beyond: Chinese Art and the Divine" was held from Aug 2019 to Jan 2020. It was a blend of Premodern China and images of the divine. From the humblest printed image of the Stove God, hung in the kitchen, to the most lavish ritual painting created for a Buddhist monastery, this exhibition presents a rich display of divine images and 3D sculptures of popular Chinese deities.
Joseph Scheier-Dolberg (Oscar Tang and Agnes Hsu-Tang Associate Curator of Chinese Painting and Calligraphy) leads the tour, beginning in galleries devoted to Buddhist art. Arising Another gallery was devoted to the arts of Daoism, a native religion that draws on both ancient Chinese philosophy and popular religious practice. The final galleries were devoted to the divine presence in the home and in the countryside, as expressed in popular deities and fantastical creatures.
Enjoy!
