Intro to Buddhist Art
What are some of the hallmarks of Buddhist art, and how has it developed over the years? These are big questions that we will only begin to tackle in this video. We'll look at Buddhist art with an emphasis on its origins, and finally ask the question whether anything really qualifies as Buddhist art at all!

Tibetan Monks Create Sand Mandala at Clark College in Vancouver, WA
A group of visiting Tibetan monks came to Clark College in Vancouver, Washington. Over four days they created a sand mandala in Cannell Library. From memory, they recreated a pattern called "Buddha of Compassion," which is believed to bring compassion to our entire region. On the final day, the monks sweep up the sand mandala, which is meant to symbolize the impermanence of existence. Some of the sand gets scattered into a nearby river, but most of it is given to people who have witnessed this ceremony.

Transcendent Specifics: Buddhist Arts of Tibet, Japan, Korea, and China
Lecture by Katherine Anne Paul, curator of the arts of Asia at the Newark Museum, New Jersey
Like art of other global religions, each region where Buddhism took hold developed locally specific iterations. While the central story about the life of the historical Buddha Shakyamuni is shared by all practitioners, in the artistic practices of Tibet, Japan, Korea, and China, images of figures other than the historical Buddha rose in popularity. Each area made images from locally available materials and developed stylistic characteristics that are distinct to both place and time. This illustrated lecture not only unlocks the basics of how to read narratives and iconography of Buddhist art, but also highlights distinguishing factors of each regional manifestation.

Featuring more than 140 objects dating from 200 BCE to 400 CE, the exhibition presents a series of evocative and interlocking themes to reveal both the pre-Buddhist origins of figurative sculpture in India and the early narrative traditions that were central to this formative moment in early Indian art. With major loans from a dozen lenders across India, as well as from the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States, it transports visitors into the world of early Buddhist imagery that gave expression to this new religion as it grew from a core set of ethical teachings into one of the world’s great religions. Objects associated with Indo-Roman exchange reveal India’s place in early global trade.
The exhibition showcases objects in various media, including limestone sculptures, gold, silver, bronze, rock crystal, and ivory. Highlights include spectacular sculptures from southern India—newly discovered and never before publicly exhibited masterpieces—that add to the world canon of early Buddhist art.
On view: July 21st–November 13th, 2023

The exhibition is made possible by Reliance Industries Limited, The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Global, and the Fred Eychaner Fund.
Major support is provided by the Estate of Brooke Astor, the Florence and Herbert Irving Fund for Asian Art Exhibitions, and the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation.
