Dazu Rock Carvings 1

 Accession — Container: 1
Identifier: ART-2017-3

Content Description

One of two black and white photographs taken in the early 1980s of the Dazu rock carvings in china. The carvings are in the high mountains and not easily accessible which explains why many if the larger than life size carvings in the mountain caves survived the destruction of the Red Guards. The photographs from the artist's China Trips were exhibited soon after the trip at The Rourke Gallery in Moorhean, Montana. This photograph captures three statues with ornate clothing and closed eyes.
