| Event Description |
Chinese-born painter Yan Pei-Ming (b. 1960) is noted for his commanding portraits and compositions that imbue conventional forms of representation with contemporary resonance. The artist alludes to traditions of Western art history and his own biography in A Burial in Shanghai. Comprised of three outsized canvases, this monumental triptych echoes Gustav Courbet’s (1819-1877) celebrated composition from two-hundred years earlier, A Burial at Ornans (1849-1850). The project, which debuted at Paris’s Musée d’Orsay in 2019, is being presented in the United States for the first time at MCASD.
