The display, arranged by Dr. Chu-Tsung Li, professor of oriental art history, is the first public exhibition in this country of this collection of fans owned by Yee Pong of Columbus, Ohio.
Bret Weller, director of the museum, said the collection would give students more understanding of oriental art and cultural heritage of the Nelson Art Gallery's collection in Kansas City.
The display of 66 fan paintings is part of Pong's collection of 800 fans that he began collecting in Hong Kong.
The exhibition will feature a variety of styles from 58 known artists that cover a five-century period.
The portable art styles represent a range from the very detailed to the very free and expressionistic.
The subjects of the paintings are traditional Chinese birds, flowers, landscapes or poems and stones in ornamental hand lettering.
The silk and paper fans open to the 12-inch to 15-inch quarter circle cloth in the top and bottom by concen-
tion folded, the fans are protected by two strips of wood and are like a rug. The fans would be placed in the sleeve or on top.
The fans come from an oriental tradition that is believed to have originated in Japan in the 15th century. They are popular in China through modern times.
For the Chinese, the fans provided a small personal art form which were exchanged as gifts, friendship, affection and trust.
