Summer Trees Casting Shade: Chinese Paintings at Berkeley, The First Fifty Years
The Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive presents their acclaimed Chinese painting collection with over fifty works dating from the twelfth to nineteenth centuries
When:
July 6, 2016 11:00am to September 25, 2016 7:00pm
Where
Summer Trees Casting Shade celebrates BAMPFA's acclaimed Chinese painting collection with over fifty works dating from the twelfth to nineteenth centuries. The diverse subject matter - from monumental landscapes to intimate views of quiet gardens, and from figures of lofty gentlemen to seldom-depicted street characters - highlights the richness of the collection.
BAMPFA has long been known as home to a robust collection of Chinese paintings, thanks in large part to the late scholar, collector, and UC Berkeley Professor Emeritus James Cahill. Cahill's personal collection forms the central core of our holdings, which he used in great effect in his nearly thirty years teaching at the University. The exhibition also includes other important gifts and purchases made over the last fifty years.
Summer Trees Casting Shade is an opportunity to enjoy a cool respite from hot summer days and indulge in fine examples of Chinese painting.
Gallery Hours: Wednesdays, Thursdays, Sundays, 11am-7pm; Fridays and Saturdays 11am-9pm
