    • 2008 June 7, Roberta Smith, “Chinese Buddhist Treasures, Written in Stone”, in New York Times[1]:
      One of the oldest works, a rather primitive tomb door from the Eastern Han (25 to 220), shows a dragon chasing a bird above a wonderfully crude crowned mask; their smooth silhouettes are defined by a roughly chiseled corduroylike background whose parallel lines also bring to mind Jasper Johns’s crosshatch patterns.
