Left hand pair of two folding screens, 17th century,
60 x 68 in. from the school of Sotatsu at the
British Museum through December. Amongst the
exhibits of The classic art of Japan are eight works
being shown for the first time, seven of which are
Buddhist paintings dating from the 12th and 14th
centuries; the eighth is a landscape from the years
just before 1500. The screens, acquired this year,
illustrate the change of emphasis from the spirit
of the classic Japanese art to the mainly decorative
intention of the new schools.
