Dwelling in Mountains: Reclusion in Chinese Landscape Painting –– Minneapolis Institute of Art https://new.artsmia.org/exhibition/dwelling-in-mountains-reclusion-in-chinese-landscape-painting
October 1, 2023 – October 20, 2024 | Gallery 203 | Free Exhibition The idea of retreating from society into mountainous landscapes has a long history in China. Daoist, Buddhist, and Confucian followers all regarded mountains as sacred places where one could become spiritually fulfilled, far from restraining social burdens. This exhibition features classical Chinese paintings from Mia’s permanent collection that express the idyllic life of mountain dwellers, from recluses in their mountain huts to scenic lakes with fishermen who represent a life of freedom and spontaneity
