Unfolding Beauty

About the Exhibition


Two Exhibitions in One Summer

The materials used to create these byõbu — ink and color on paper or cloth, stretched over light wood frameworks — make it impossible to display these works often because of their susceptibility to damage from exposure to light. For the preservation of the works, therefore, and also because CMA’s collection is so numerous, Unfolding Beauty: Japanese Screens from the Cleveland Museum of Art will be presented in two four-week groupings — Part I will be on view from July 15 through August 12, 2001; Part II will be on view from August 14 to Sept. 16, 2001.

About the Installation

A spare and spacious installation was conceived for these paintings so the explanatory and background information about each work typically seen in the museum's exhibitions is provided in free brochures instead of on wall labels.
