These works elicit two different interpretations of landscape. The carved ivory table screen from China depicts an idealized mountain landscape, and was intended to provide scholars an image of nature for inspiration. Richard Hollander’s bronze minimalist sculpture evokes the blazing sun often equated with the vast western landscapes of his adopted home in Kansas City.
