John Stucky – Landscape of the four seasons, one of a pair
A true masterpiece of Japanese Chinese-style ink landscape and representative of the best of Momoyama period painting. Would be an important cultural property if still in Japan
John Stucky – Scholar’s accoutrements (chaekgeori)
A delightful work with deep personal meaning
John Stucky – Seated Amitabha Buddha (Amida Nyorai)
Represents an apogee of Japanese sculptural art and craftsmanship–plus it is the Amitabha Buddha
John Stucky – Ewer with lid
An exquisite piece—the epitome of Goryeo celadon
John Stucky – Cosmological painting
This work can occupy my interest for a very long time.
Dori Bailey – Mythical bird-man
He makes me happy just looking at him. I can image with a little shake and fluffing of his wings, he’ll take flight.
Dori Bailey – Ritual vessel in the shape of a rhinoceros
Just look at her; so playfully round, with an earnest face and unassuming yet dignified stance. And she maybe carried food or wine?! Pretty awesome.
Tim Hallman – Wrapping cloth (bojagi)
Simple and complex at the same time. Is the patterning random or carefully ordered? It doesn’t matter–the effect is hypnotic.
Beth Tagawa – Bodhidharma (Dalma)
It’s simple but expressive.
