| Title | The party at Lan-T'ing, Los Angeles, 1991 |
| Description | The party at Lan-T'ing, 1991. Los Angeles Public Library, Chinatown branch, exterior, 850 Yale Street (mural on College St.), Chinatown. Chinese achievements in music, literature, and art are shown in the context of a party of important artists organized by the great Chinese calligrapher and poet, Wang Xi-Zhi, approximately 1700 years ago. A scroll documenting the event that Wang created after the party became an important part of Chinese art history. While there are many replicas throughout China, the original scroll is believed buried in the tomb of an emperor of the Tang dynasty. The artist's use of non-paint materials and his layering of colors are both techniques from traditional lacquer painting. Acrylic, glitter, sequins, eggshells, and pieces of costume jewelry, 17' x 40', by Shiyan Zhang, assisted by Celia Ko, DeQing Wang, Jack Wu II, and Anthony Mendoza. Sponsored by Social and Public Art Resource Center. -- Dunitz, Street gallery, rev. 2nd ed., p. 54, #83. |
