Passion for Form and Southeast Asian Ceramics
@ Heritage Museum of Asian Art
218 W 26th St, Chicago, IL 60616
Opening Friday, January 18th, from 6PM - 9PM
Heritage Museum of Asian Art is pleased to announce two new exhibitions:
Passion for Form: Selections of Southeast Asian Art from the MacLean Collection
“Passion for Form” was the title for the first public touring exhibition of some of the Southeast Asian treasures in the MacLean Collection in 2008. Southeast Asian pottery, bronze and sculpture have long fascinated the MacLean family.
This exhibition of the MacLean Collection outside of its home on the north shore of Chicago is intended to help students of all ages learn more about the beauty and development processes of these designed objects. The MacLean Collection is intended to help future students and scholars learn about the extraordinarily skilled people that lived in Southeast Asia over the past four thousand years.
Southeast Asian Ceramics: Selections from the Collection of James E. Breece, III
The ceramics of China have been famous for centuries and clearly influenced ceramic production in nearby Southeast Asian countries. This may be the most apparent in Vietnamese ceramics, as parts of the country were closely aligned to China for nearly one thousand years.
This exhibition features ceramic wares from Vietnam, Thailand and Burma from James E. Breece III. These ceramics are under represented in museums around the world and have a greater artistic validity than is largely recognized. Most importantly, to this day these wares reflect the cultural nature of these three countries.
