Museum of displaying zen paintings

The museum of fine arts, Boston presents Zen brush with japanese ink paintings from the gitter yelen collection, featuring paintings and calligraphies by monks from the 18th century to the present day, who have expressed their spirituality through their art. Zen was first introduced to japan in the late twelfth century and its paintings were practiced at newly established monasteries which functioned not only institutions but also as cultural cities. During Zen brush, the museum will also feature brush with enlightenment as Zen calligraphy from the collection of Sylvan Barnet and William Burto featuring seven japanese hanging-scrolls created between the 14th and 18th centuries. An exhibition organised by the master of fine arts in 1970, the dynamic lines of chinese characters inscribed by early Zen masters.
