An Ideal Lifestyle as Envisioned in Ancient Chinese Art

[Randy W]

An ideal lifestyle envisioned by intellectuals, thinkers and artists in ancient #China would be one in a picturesque and tranquil haven of nature that provided a refuge from the chores of society, and from time to time reuniting with like-minded people to share in cultural appreciation.

Companions in Solitude: Reclusion and Communication in Chinese Art, an ongoing exhibition which the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has staged at its Fifth Avenue location until Aug 14, 2022, explores this life choice of cultured people -- to seek a space between themselves and the world -- as depicted in classical Chinese paintings, calligraphic pieces and works of art on show.
