Oriental art in Europe.(Report from Europe)
Three European museums are showing exhibitions of Far Eastern art. At the Musee Rath in Geneva, the show is called In the Shade of the Pine Trees: Chinese Masterpieces from the Shanghai Museum, and contains seventeenth-century works. The title of the show is derived from the area near Shanghai along the lower reaches of the Yangzi River where many scholars and artists were born and lived. They sought refuge from the troubles of the world in their gardens, in the shade of pine trees. The exhibition is on view until January 16, 2005. The accompanying illustrated catalogue in French, entitled A l'ombre des pins, with essays by a number of scholars, can be ordered by telephoning 41-22-418-54-60.
