Garden and Cosmos at SAAM

Garden and Cosmos: The Royal Paintings of Jodhpur
Seattle Asian Art Museum
January 29 – April 26, 2009

The art deco galleries of the Seattle Asian Art Museum in Volunteer Park are a perfect setting for this groundbreaking exhibit of 58 gorgeous pieces of Indian painting that flourished in the royal courts of Rajasthan from the 17th to the 19th century. It was an exhilarating experience to [in the words of Gayle Clemans, of the Seattle Times] "dive right into the paintings; absorb the lavish detail, intricate compositions and delicious colors." The picture above is a link to SAAM's preview of some of the paintings featured in the exhibit.

Coraline is fantastic!
