Interior with minor signs of wear and in good condition overall.; "Serious thought about this exhibition began in conversations between Laurence Sickman and Sherman Lee some five years past. Their enthusiasm for a joint exhibition of the Chinese paintings owned by the two museums was quickly shared by the curators, Wai-kam Ho (Cleveland) and Marc Wilson (Kansas City), and by the trustees of both institutions. The compelling reasons for such an enterprise were as follows. The number and quality of Chinese paintings involved were substantial and excellent. Furthermore, the two collections complemented each other in a most meaningful fashion - Kansas City's particular strength in early paintings being matched by Cleveland's large holdings in works created after the Sung Dynasty. Even within those areas where each collection had good representation, the particular artists or subjects can be seen to be complementary. The resulting display of two hundred and eighty-two works would provide, almost literally and relatively completely, a rich survey of the history of Chinese painting from 300 BC to AD 1850 - hence, the "fancy title": Eight Dynasties of Chinese Painting." excerpt from the preface by Ralph T. Coe, Director Nelson Gallery-Atkins Museum and Sherman E. Lee, Director The Cleveland Museum of Art.
