“the clown plays a game” 2019

This delicately executed freshwater jar depicts a parade of grasshoppers and wasps, all painted in bright colors. The grasshoppers carry flowers—perhaps stand-ins for weapons or insignia—and accompany an insect cage, evoking the elaborate processions of a daimyo, or feudal lord. The Kyoto-based painter Maruyama Ōkyo (1733–1795) seems to have been the source of the imagery, but there are many other related versions of the theme by his followers. Kōzan, who descended from a long line of Kyoto potters, became popular with Western collectors after exhibiting vessels with high-relief motifs at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition.

#bornOnThisDay Mary Van Cline travels extensively to find and record the images she uses in her work, searching for epic vistas of natural elements and dramatic man-made structures. Van Cline began to experiment with glass after acquiring the inventory of a 350-year-old Boston manufacturer of telescope equipment. She studied the refraction of light and began to place photographs behind prisms and planes of optical glass. Applying images directly to the glass, Van Cline often layers photographs to create surreal associations between figures and their environments.
