Art Talk Tuesday: The Language of Flowers in Asian Art In-Person
Discover the expressive power of flowers in the arts and cultures of Asia through objects from the Asian Art Museum’s collection. Since ancient times, flowers have been cultivated in gardens and represented in art; their properties have come to symbolize both human and divine qualities. Peggy Matthews, a docent from the Asian Art Museum, will share some of the most celebrated flower varieties – lotus, plum blossom, cherry blossom, chrysanthemum, tulip, and rose – and the messages they convey in art.
