The display shows how select motifs, especially plants and animals, have been illustrated on ceramics, painting, sculpture, lacquer, and textiles, and what they mean. Some types of images and symbols are nearly universal across East Asia; others are specific to Korea. One section of the exhibit demonstrates a Korean penchant for abstraction and for amplifying the qualities of natural materials or distilling form and color.[caption id="attachment_2788" align="aligncenter" width="500"] Yoon Kwang-Cho (Korean, born 1946), Chaos 혼돈 混沌 , Stoneware with white slip and ash glaze, 2007, H. 13 1/8 in.
