Скачать или смотреть Dragons! In East Asian Art

Are dragons always gold-hoarding, maiden-kidnapping, fire-breathing monsters? No! In fact, in East Asia dragons are powerful but benevolent creatures who control rain and rivers, among other abilities. This brief video, aimed at younger viewers, introduces some of the many traditional meanings of dragons in East Asia using works from the Allen Memorial Art Museum. Join Kevin R. E. Greenwood, Joan L. Danforth Curator of Asian Art, for a closer look at some of the Allen’s best-known works of Asian art, from the large and dramatic bronze "Coiling Dragon" to the moveable miniature ivory sculpture, "Articulated Dragon Okimono."
