Birds in the Art of Japan at the Met


Flock of Cranes
Ishida Yūtei (Japanese, 1721–1786)

I spent the entire day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art yesterday.  I went to see the Bellows and Matisse shows and stumbled upon this really nice exhibit "Birds in the Art of Japan."  The camera I didn't bring was unnecessary because the Met has great images on their own website.  I cropped these two images to give you a better idea of how much you can take in standing in front of this fantastic screen.  Click on the images to follow back to their source at the Met website.
