Tiger, 1500s. Creator: Sesson Sh?kei (Japanese, 1504-1589)
Tiger, 1500s. This screen with a tiger and its pair with a dragon together represent the elements of water and wind in Chinese cosmology: the dragons swirling form conjures rain clouds, and the tiger embodies the winds terrible, unpredictable force. Former CMA director Sherman Lee found in Sessons paintings intimations of a developing Japanese style distinct from Chinese predecessors. Here, parody and pattern are at the forefront. The formidable, awe-inspiring tiger takes on the demeanor of a curious house cat, and a once-snarling dragons face morphs into an oddly befuddled human expression. Such exaggerated, humorously rendered faces suggest a gentle domestication of these primal forces. Lee described Sessons work as inhabiting a world of aesthetic awareness, in which brushstroke and pattern are primary and where waves are " arranged in graceful and rhythmically repetitive reflex curves, primarily decorative shapes and only secondarily water and foam."
