painting and calligraphy

Patrick Gibson FOGHORN STAFFWRITER

"All you young people—" pleads Hakuin Ekaku, the eighteenth century Japanese monk-artist, "no

matter what you say, everything is superficial unless you hear the sound of one hand clapping." Most

would consider this advice a bit too cryptic to give to any of today's youth—Pokemon-charged head-

bangers who would never stop to consider the metaphysical ideas of an ancient koan, or Japanese

riddle, such as Ekaku's. Upon a visit to the Asian Art Museum, however, one would immediately

realize that this koan is way too cryptic.

Not all is lost though, as even those with the shortest attention spans will likely draw an inkling of

satisfaction from the Museum's "ZEN: Painting and Calligraphy" exhibit. In fact, the japanimation-

obssessed will be especially surprised. The works are all ink paintings

and calligraphy, mostly on scroll paper. The four featured artists re­

veal themselves as a probable influence on modern Japanese anima­

tors (yes, even on those who animate Pokemon).

The 66 paintings in the exhibit showcase the intended educational

tools of Japanese monks from the later Zen period. There is a nature

of duality present among the works. Most of the human figures de­

picted are somewhat comical in nature, with the large, over-expressive

eyes (common in modern japanamation), and a jarring spontaneity yy that reminds one of the rapid sense of movement present in the same

cartoons.

Yet the other side of the coin is intensely spiritual. The majority of works on display were

made as aides for the instruction of Zen Buddhist philosophy. The artists, all of whom lacked

formal training in art and began painting in their later years, created the pieces as gifts to their

pupils so that they too could travel the path to enlightenment. The calligraphy works in particu­

lar seem to have been made to communicate the more difficult ideas,
