This exhibition shows 15 contemporary Chinese brushwork pieces for the first time in the U.S. The pieces, gifted to the Town of Greenwich through the 2019 U.S.-China Art and Culture Exchange, introduce viewers to the tools and concepts of brushwork. Chinese brushwork painting, also called water-painting, was developed in China during the Han Dynasty (220-589 A.D.) from calligraphy.
