The omission or removal of ink, pigments, and glaze allows artists to construct depth, to focus the viewer’s attention, and to create novel designs through experimentation with materials. Absences also create opportunities for viewers to fill in missing pieces of compositions using their imagination. Join assistant curator Yan Yang for a talk about the myriad uses of negative space in works in the East Asian art galleries.
This gallery talk is part of our New on View series, highlighting recent gallery installations and presenting new insights into recent acquisitions or old favorites.
Led by:
Yan Yang 楊妍, Assistant Curator of the Collection, Division of Asian and Mediterranean Art
