Sesson Shukei (ca.1504-ca.1589)
Gibbons in a Landscape. Ca. 1570. Japan, Muromachi period (1392-1573). The gibbon, native to the forested mountains of southern China, is known in Japan only through painting and poetry. In literary contexts, its cry is associated with the elevated spirit of solitude, and in Daoist lore with a superior life force. Pair of six-panel screens; ink on paper. Image (each screen): 62 in. x 11 ft. 5 in. (157.5 x 348 cm). Purchase, Rogers Fund and The Vincent Astor Foundation, Mary Livingston Griggs and Mary Griggs Burke Foundation, and Florence and Herbert Irving Gifts, 1992 (1992.8.1, .2).
