This web site presents highlights and excerpts from the exhibition on display at the Arthur M. Sackler Museum, Harvard University Art Museums from October 9, 1999 through January 2, 2000. The texts presented here are taken directly from wall text that is in the exhibition. They were not written for the web or to stand alone, but to accompany the more than seventy works of art in the exhibition. It is hoped that readers of this web site will be able to visit the exhibition gallery in person. (more about the Arthur M.
