The Pearl S. Buck House National Historic Landmark Museum is now presenting “Visions of East and West: Traditional Chinese Painting by Shutian Cao,” a new art exhibit that opened January 13.
The exhibit features more than 50 pieces of art by noted artist and art educator Shutian Cao, depicting scenes from both China and the Delaware Valley, two places that Pearl S. Buck loved and called home, said a Pearl S. Buck press release.
Like Buck, Shutian Cao also calls China and Bucks County home, drawing on both places for inspiration. From cityscapes of China, Philadelphia and New York to the rural Chinese mountains and rolling fields and gardens of Lancaster and Bucks County to historic buildings and famous places throughout the Delaware Valley, visitors will get to enjoy these paintings and ink drawings on display throughout the Pearl S. Buck House, said the release.
