SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA.-Drawing on works from the National Gallery of Victoria’s collection of Chinese art and paintings, Mountains and Streams: Chinese Paintings from the Asian Collection is on view at the Art Gallery of New South Wales through 10 February 2008.
China’s magnificent scenery of mountains and streams has inspired Chinese scholars, poets and painters for thousands of years.
This exhibition will look at the period from the 14th century until the present day and will examine the worship of mountains as sacred places in China, an idea that originated in pre-historic times. Mountains were believed to be the pillars of the Universe, connecting heaven and earth; streams were considered to be the arteries of these mountains.
