The exhibition will feature gifts and promised gifts to the permanent collection from the family of Lin Yutang (1895–1976), one of the leading literary figures in China before the Second World War. Consisting of 43 paintings and calligraphies by 19 leading Chinese artists of the mid-20th century, this donation will significantly enhance the Museum's ability to illustrate the continued vitality of China's traditional arts in modern times.
Accompanied by a catalogue.

The publication and related exhibition are made possible by The Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Foundation.
