See the exhibition before it closes on Sunday! The first comprehensive exhibition of Luo Ping’s paintings ever presented in America, Eccentric Visions: The Worlds of Luo Ping (1733-1799) brings together nearly 60 works, including many Chinese “National Treasures,” by one of the most celebrated painters in 18th–century China. Complemented by 27 pieces from American collections, this momentous international-loan exhibition reveals the range and brilliance of the artist’s vision as well as his place among his peers. The youngest of the so-called “Eight Eccentrics,” a group of highly individualistic artists active in the prosperous metropolis of Yanzhou, Luo Ping was an extraordinary artist, whose works influenced the course of later Chinese painting.
