Hilbert Museum of California Art
In Asia, the practice of deep meditation focusing on a “viewing stone” or “scholar’s stone” stretches back for centuries. Richard Turner, emeritus professor of art at Chapman University, delves into the fascinating exhibition he curated, which pairs, for the first time, a diverse collection of viewing stones with paintings selected from The Hilbert Collection. Some of the arrangements in the gallery acknowledge the shared similarities of paintings and stones. Others pose questions about the reasons for their juxtaposition.
