Garden and Cosmos: The Royal Paintings of Jodhpur January 29–April 26, 2009 SAAM Tateuchi Galleries

Join us during the closing weekend of this special exhibition (Saturday, April 25 and Sunday, April 26), when the Seattle Asian Art Museum is open extended hours,
from 10 am to 7 pm..

This groundbreaking exhibition of 58 artworks presents new facets of Indian painting that flourished in the royal courts of Rajasthan from the 17th to the 19th century. In addition to the exquisite narrative "miniatures" with which we are familiar, the exhibition includes breathtaking monumental images that convey an unsurpassed intensity of artistic vision and religious fervor. Produced for the Rajasthan nobles, these paintings have never been published; most have been seen by just a few scholars since their creation. This is the first time these paintings have been exhibited in the United States.

–Josh Yiu, Foster Foundation Associate Curator of Chinese Art
