'Water-painting' in Greenwich

“The End of Spring,’’ by Sun Wenzhang, in the show “Contemporary Artists/Traditional Forms: Chinese Brushwork,’’ through Dec. 8, at the Bruce Museum, Greenwich, Conn.

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.
