Chiura Obata: Four Paintings, Four Moods
http://www.slam.org/Exhibitions/index.php
The Museum recently received the gift of Setting Sun of Sacramento Valley, a stunning painting by the Japanese-American artist Chiura Obata (1885–1975).In recognition of the generous gift, the Museum has assembled three other major works by Obata from the 1930s. Together, they demonstrate his treatment of close and distant elements in landscapes, from the focused depiction of a single plum tree to the atmospheric and bird's-eye views of different California locales. Chiura Obata: Four Paintings, Four Moods is curated by Philip Hu, associate curator of Asian art, and is on view in Gallery 225 from October 4 through February 2, 2014.
