| The Metropolitan Museum of Art

“Walking tigers and dragons depicted with water were popular visual compositions across East Asia, and for this reason, the specific origins of the Met’s paintings remain an enigma. The visual pairing of tigers and dragons has a long history in East Asia, appearing in the first hexagram, 乾 (qian), from The Book of Changes, thought to have been written during the Zhou dynasty (1046–256 B.C.). “

| East Asian Scroll Paintings |

| Center for the Art of East Asia, University of Chicago

Handscroll paintings, painted horizontally on pieces of silk or sheets of paper and mounted as scrolls, are a major type of traditional East Asian painting, distinctive in their format and method of viewing. Their creation is based on special principles that differ from those of painting single-framed pictures as they are continuous pictures that progress in space and time…Because of the rare and fragile nature of these paintings, however, they are rarely shown. They cannot be handled by the public or exposed to light for extended periods in exhibitions. Therefore our center created this interactive site to simulate the experience of viewing handscrolls in ways that published photographs in books and projected slides cannot and to make them more widely accessible for teaching and research.

The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia, 1860–1989 considers the dynamic impact of Asian art, literature, music, and philosophy on the development of American art. This guide for educators focuses on seminal American artists who took inspiration from Asia and reflected that engagement in their creative work. Teachers guides reflect the structure of the exhibition, which is divided into seven chronological and thematic sections, and selects a representative artist from each. Looking at and discussing these works with students can enhance their understanding of American art and how its development has been influenced by specific sources of Asian art and thought.
