EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Granary (Cang) from the Eastern Han dynasty, which flourished between A. D. 25-220. Created by an unknown artist, this remarkable piece is believed to have originated in Henan province, China. The photograph captures the essence of this ancient structure, revealing its intricate details and historical significance. Constructed during a time of great cultural and artistic achievements, this granary stands as a testament to the advanced craftsmanship of the Han dynasty. Made from brick red earthenware with green lead glaze carved and molded decoration, it exemplifies the mastery of ceramic artistry prevalent during that era. The image evokes a sense of mystery and wonder as we contemplate its purpose within Chinese society at that time. Was it solely used for storage or did it hold deeper symbolic meaning? Perhaps it served as burial goods within a mausoleum or tomb, honoring those who had passed on. As we gaze upon this artifact through the lens of history, we are reminded of our connection to past civilizations and their enduring legacies. This print invites us to explore not only its physical beauty but also ponder upon concepts such as life, death, heritage, and culture. Displayed in an art gallery or institute like The Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Asia collection adds another layer to its story - one where preservation meets appreciation for centuries-old masterpieces. Let us cherish these treasures from distant lands and honor their creators whose identities remain shrouded in anonymity yet continue to inspire awe
