- Six Persimmons, attributed to Muqi, 13th century (Daitokuji, Kyoto, Japan). A conversation with Dr. Beth Harris and Dr. Laura W. Allen, Senior curator for Japanese art, Asian Art Museum, San Francisco.
So beautiful in its austere simplicity. This kind of art was approaching abstraction some seven centuries before Western artists began to cultivate abstraction for its own sake.
So happy to see another informative and unexpected Smarthistory vid today - you guys are starting my weekend off right. 😌
I was watching this video like 😅 for much of it, thinking of how much it reminded me of the abstract / modern art playlists, so it was extremely validating for Dr. Harris to reference that.
I also agreed with what Dr. Allen said about this having a highly personal interpretation. I think of the human life-cycle when I look at this: infancy, childhood, that small, "breaking the line" period of adolescence, the larger and more substantial early adulthood, senior years, and then... 💀 That's just me, though.
Loved this (and the idea of tea gatherings). I want something like that in my life.
The simplicity is always such a fun mask for the skill needed to work with such bold ink. It's a very calming painting.
The unrolling of Six Persimmons possibly signifying Fall…..the gift that’s always giving…..
Wow ! I wouldn't expect that!
I always wanted to know more about this after i seen i in book 10 years ago
At first glance, I actually thought the persimmons on the two ends were meant to be made of clear glass.
After a while I keep thinking the persimmons are sitting on a table. It would be interesting to compare this to Cezanne's apples.

Sumi-e
they're not orange so they're not persimmons
Why not just say that it is just some black ink at different dilutions organized on a piece of paper?
Of course, they are NOT persimmons. It is just the painter (or some person in later history) named it "Six Persimmons".
