Chanler ScreenEntry/Object ID
2021.001.002Description
Screen consists of three panels depicting a continuous scene with each panel edged in a wooden frame. In the lower half of the scene, golden fish swim in all directions across rich, turquoise waters and amongst seaweed and kelp rising from the bottom of the screen. The top half of the screen is dominated by a thicket of sea plants, rendered almost like feathers in shades of brown, white, and black, that swirl out and around from the central panel and provide a sense of movement. Chanler’s signature, “Robert W. Chanler” appears in the lower left of the central panel. One sided screen.
Note that exhibition label shows screen as "Gift of Paul Mateyunas" but should be listed as an acquisition.Collection
