Folding screens, known as bybu in Japanese, are treasures within any museums collection and are beloved by the general public. This beautiful publication brings together the very finest screens from the worldrenowned collections of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Saint Louis Art Museum. The featured works range from an extraordinary pair of landscapes by Sesson Shukei, a ZenBuddhist monkpainter of the late 16th century, to daring contemporary works from the late 20th century.The first half of the Edo period (16151868) is especially well represented, with a dozen screens from the 17th century by such masters as Kano Koi and Tosa Mitsuoki. The contemporary scene is also well covered, with ten examples from the 20th centuryproving the longevity of this art form and its currency among modernday artists. Enlightening essays by important scholars in the field cover topics like the emergence of screens as an art form and a novel discussion of the relationship of Japanese screens to those made in other countries.
