LOCATION:Carlos Museum\, Atlanta
DESCRIPTION:In China\, for well over a millennium\, selected natural rocks known as Scholar's Rocks have been admired for their aesthetic and spiritual qualities. Like animate beings\, these stones possess vital energy and breath. Collected by emperors and scholar-officials\, large rocks placed in gardens served as focal points to engender thoughts about perfecting oneself and gaining immortality\, and for contemplation about nature and travel through mountains. In miniature form\, rocks on a scholar's desk brought the cosmos within hand's reach.
