Intro
Lacquer is fascinating. The material protects, preserves, and embellishes, revealing its unique aesthetic power. The soft glow of its silky surface is at once serene and striking.
Lacquer is fascinating. The material protects, preserves, and embellishes, revealing its unique aesthetic power. The soft glow of its silky surface is at once serene and striking. In China, this material was elevated to an art form in the distant past. Works of extraordinary intricacy have been created over millennia, perfectly melding exceptional craftsmanship and deep cultural significance.
Red – Masterpieces of Chinese Lacquerwareat Museum Rietberg invites visitors to delve into this world. The exhibition brings together exceptional objects impressive not only for their technical skill but also for their nuanced symbolism. Flowers and birds represent harmony and beauty while dragons and phoenixes stand for power and happiness. Bats and insects embody good fortune. These images reveal the full breadth of imagination in Chinese culture.
