Palaces of the Immortals dated 1753 Xu Yang Chinese Xu Yang was recruited as a court painter in 1751 and became one of the Qianlong Emperors leading artists, culminating with his being selected in 1764 to execute the Qianlong Southern Inspection Tour. This intimate fan painting shows Xu working in a miniaturist style and a decorative blue-and-green technique that differs markedly from his typically grand imperial commissions. According to the artists long inscription, Xu was commanded by the emperor to paint this work as a birthday gift to a Mr. Li.Fanciful images of Daoist paradises were suitably auspicious subjects for birthday gifts. Using the archaic blue-and-green landscape style, Xu demonstrates his mastery of this mode with dense mineral colors accented with gold highlights and detailed renderings of architectural forms..

Flying Celestial, second half 17th century, Kiyohara Yukinobu, Japanese, 1643 - 1682, 45 7/8 × 17 5/8 in. (116.52 × 44.77 cm) (image)77 5/16 × 22 1/4 in. (196.37 × 56.52 cm) (mount, without roller ), Ink, color, and gold on silk, Japan, 17th century, A celestial being appears before a rolling bank of clouds, her robes and sashes fluttering in the wind. Although she flies alone, such celestials typically appear in groups, gliding through the air in the vicinity of a buddha, such as Amida (Sanskrit: Amitābha), the Buddha of Boundless Light. The artist Kiyohara Yukinobu was a grandniece of Kano Tanyū (1602-74), a master of the great Kano house of painters. Her delicate handling of the brush and subtle application of color and gold, apparent in the figures flowing robes, is consistent with the style of her great-uncle.

Portrait of Ralph Dusenberry. Artist: Arthur Dove (American, Canandaigua, New York 1880-1946 Huntington, New York). Dimensions: 22 x 18 in. (55.9 x 45.7 cm). Date: 1924.Among the most accomplished abstract American artists, Dove created inventive symbolic portraits of friends using found materials. Ralph Dusenberry, Dove's neighbor, lived in a houseboat on the North Shore of Long Island. The artist selected the objects in this work for their associations with Dusenberry's personality and interests: the sheet music pasted at the bottom is a hymn that Dusenberry often sang, while the folding rulers that frame the composition point to his profession as an architect. The pieces of weathered wood refer to the docks, shingled cabins, and shipbuilding materials of the marine environment. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
