ANOTHER WORLD LIES BEYOND: VISUAL ALLUSIONS IN THE CHINESE GARDEN

April 8, 2008

An inscription inside the entrance gates to the Huntington’s Garden of Flowing Fragrance reads “another world lies beyond.” The words allude to a well-known tale in Chinese literature about a hidden utopian land. Louise Yuhas, professor of art history and Asian studies at Occidental College, will discuss the many kinds of “other worlds” that are evoked in traditional Chinese gardens.
