History of Collection
The Asian collection has been a priority for the Cleveland Museum of Art since our founding. In 1913, before the museum opened, Director Frederic Allen Whiting recognized the opportunity for the museum to distinguish itself by selectively collecting Eastern Art not adequately represented in other American museums. He regularly solicited support from the trustees, local donors, and collectors. The museum's first curator, J. Arthur MacLean, appointed in 1914, became Curator of Oriental Art in 1919. The museum also retained Langdon Warner, a noted scholar of Asian art, as an advisor on the development of the collection.
Although gaps existed between tenures of curators of Asian arts, the museum was fortunate enough to find talented professionals. After MacLean left for the Art Institute of Chicago in 1922, it was some years before the museum hired Howard C. Hollis to replace him in 1929. Hollis, who was a pupil of Warner at Harvard, continued to add depth and breadth to the collection and regularly traveled to Europe and Asia for research and possible acquisitions. At the end of World War II, Hollis served in the Arts and Monuments Division of General Headquarters, Allied Powers, in Japan. After his tour, Hollis briefly returned to the museum before resigning and eventually opening his own gallery of Far Eastern Art.
Sherman E. Lee replaced Hollis, first in the Arts and Monuments Division in Tokyo, and later as Curator of Oriental Art and keeper of the Egyptian and Classical collections at the museum. Lee continued building the collection, augmenting and refining its character. He also started an ambitious exhibition program and public education program about the merits of Asian art. In 1958, Lee became the third director of the museum. The following year he hired Wai-kam Ho as Curator of Chinese Art.The two collaborated together and made many superlative acquisitions.
The museum hired Stanislaw J. Czuma as Curator of Indian Art in 1972. As the importance and strength of the Asian collections grew, so did the curatorial positions in the Asian Art Department (so renamed in 1987). In 1983, Michael R. Cunningham became Curator of Japanese Art. He was named Curator of Japanese and Korean Art in 1996.

Chinese Art
The Cleveland Museum of Art's Chinese art collection is one of the most distinguished in the West, representing the highest level of Chinese artistic accomplishment. From prehistory to today, the Chinese art collection spans more than 5,000 years and embraces a diversity of art forms including jades, bronzes, lacquer, sculpture, paintings, calligraphy, furniture, bamboo carvings, and more. The most outstanding sections of the collection are paintings and ceramics. Not only is the sequence of chronological development reasonably complete, but the collection is also represented by works of international significance. It continues to expand in all directions, taking into consideration the rich traditions as well as the ongoing artistic developments of China.
Japanese Art
In 1916, when the Cleveland Museum of Art’s first building opened, its holdings in Japanese art already included some noteworthy Japanese woodblock prints designed by print world luminaries such as Okumura Masanobu (1686–1764) and Kitagawa Utamaro (1754–1806). Today the museum’s Japanese collection comprises some 1,950 works spanning a period of approximately 5,000 years and includes masterworks of painting, sculpture, and prints, as well as ceramics, metalwork, and other decorative arts. The Japanese calligraphy and painting collection is impressive in its breadth, from sacred texts executed in silver and gold characters on dyed paper to expansive ink-painted vistas once intended for sliding door panels. Its selection of folding screen paintings covers many of the major genres, from bird-and-flower compositions to festival scenes, and includes examples by artists such as Sesson Shukei (c. 1504–c. 1589) and Maruyama Okyo (1733–1795). The collection also contains notable works of early Buddhist and Shinto art.
Indian and South East Asian Art
The Indian and Southeast Asian art collection comprises three broad areas: India proper, the Himalayas, and Southeast Asia. The collection covers the period of the entire artistic activity on the Indian subcontinent from the earliest (Neolithic) period until the 20th century. It consists primarily of sculpture (in stone, metal, wood, terra cotta, and ivory) and paintings (book illustrations as well as devotional paintings on cloth as seen in the Himalayan tangkas), but it also includes decorative arts such as jewelry and armor. It is a well-balanced collection, both in its scope and breadth; the focus, however, is on the high points of artistic production during the early and medieval periods from the second century BC to the 18th century. The strength of the collection lies not in its quantity but in its quality.
Korean Art
The Cleveland Museum of Art has been actively acquiring Korean art since 1915. The collection features a robust selection of works in a variety of media. The holdings in ceramics are especially strong, and include a number of fine celadons from the Goryeo dynasty (918–1392). The painting collection contains rare Goryeo Buddhist paintings, as well as Joseon dynasty (1392–1897) paintings such as landscapes and portraits. Its selection of folding screen paintings includes a notable 19th-century example from the genre of “scholars’ accouterments,” or chaekkori, as well as an important pair of 15th-century ink landscape screens by Yi Sumun, a Korean artist who painted in Japan. Bronze Buddhist statuary and ritual objects from the Three Kingdoms period (57 BC–AD 668) through the Goryeo dynasty attest to the sophisticated craftsmanship of these eras. The collection also has significant examples of early earthenware vessels and other archaeological materials.

CorrespondenceScope and Contents noteNo defined schema was evident for the files when they entered the archives collection. Where discernable, files were separated by corresponding curator and processed as a subseries. A subseries of files containing correspondence between multiple curators and a single person or institution was created. Documents from this subseries deemed important were pulled and given their own folder. Internal correspondence is chiefly separated by department, but also by Asian Department curator. This series is arranged alphabetically thereafter chronologically, with the exception of the Stephen Little and J. Keith Wilson subseries which are arranged chronologically by year thereafter alphabetically. | ||||
Michael CunninghamBiographical/Historical noteA graduate of Tufts University, Michael R. Cunningham received the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Far Eastern Art at the University of Chicago. Before completing his doctoral degree in 1978, he spent two years at Kyoto University, in the Department of Art and Aesthetics. From 1977 to 1979, Dr. Cunningham was Mellon Foundation Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Humanities, teaching in the Department of Art, Case Western Reserve University, and serving as Research Fellow in Japanese Art in the Department of Oriental Art of the Cleveland Museum of Art. He was adjunct associate curator of Japanese Art at the Museum and assistant professor at the University, a joint appointment supported by a grant from the Japan Foundation, from 1979 to 1982. Cunningham was named Curator of Japanese Art in 1983 and served as acting head of the Department of Oriental Art until being appointed Chief Curator in 1987. In 1996 Cunningham became Curator of Japanese and Korean Art. Due to budget constraints the museum reduced staffing by 10% and eliminated Cunningham's position in 2003. | ||||

Stanislaw CzumaBiographical/Historical noteBorn in Warsaw, Poland, Stanislaw J. Czuma received his B.A. and M.A. in Western Art from the Jagiellon University, Cracow. He studied abroad in India at the Banaras Hindu and Calcutta Universities, and at the Sorbonne in Paris. He came to the United States and earned his Ph.D. in Oriental Art from the University of Michigan. Czuma worked as Curator of Oriental Art at the Brooklyn Art Museum before coming to Cleveland in 1973. From 1973 to 2000 he taught as a professor at the Case Western Reserve University. During his more than thirty years at the Cleveland Museum of Art, Czuma curated numerous exhibitions including “Indian Art from the George P. Bickford Collection,” “Kushan Sculpture: Images from Early India,” and “Dance of the Gods: Indian Art Inspired by Music.” Along with catalogs for many of the exhibitions, he wrote numerous scholarly articles published in the museum’s “Bulletin.” Additionally, Czuma was the only American to serve as advisor on the Polish led Committee for the Restoration of Angkor temples in 1989. Czuma retired in 2005 and in 2017, Marquis Who’s Who presented Czuma with the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions to the field of art history. | ||||

Wai-kam HoBiographical/Historical noteWai-kam Ho was born in South China. He graduated from Lingnan University, Canton in 1947. He then went to Peking to enter the Graduate School of History at Yenching University. Ho came to the United States in 1951 to continue his graduate work for a joint Ph.D. degree in the Department of Fine Arts and the Department of Far Eastern Languages at Harvard University. Ho was employed at the Cleveland Museum of Art during the summer of 1958 and came to the Museum as Assistant Curator of Oriental Art in January of 1959. His main interest was in cultural history which gave him an opportunity to specialize in one branch of cultural history – art history. From 1958 to 1983, Ho collaborated with Sherman Lee to advance the scholarship of Chinese art history, as well as the museum’s exhibitions and acquisitions in the field. Ho’s vast knowledge of Chinese literature proved immeasurable as he could authenticate a painting by researching an obscure seal used only during narrow epoch in history. For his abilities, Ho received the special title of Senior Research Curator of Chinese Art, a title not used since his departure. In 1983, Wai-kam Ho left the museum to become the Laurence Sickman Curator of Chinese Art at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art; it was the first endowed curatorship of its kind in the country. Separated Materials notePrior to processing, much of Wai-kam Ho's correspondence was interfiled with other curator's correspondence and can be found in the Multiple Curators subseries. | ||||

Sherman E. LeeBiographical/Historical noteDr. Lee served as director of the Cleveland Museum of Art from 1958 until 1982. He left an indelible mark on this institution through the acquisition of many of the most significant and treasured works of art in its collection, the expansion of its facilities, and a strong commitment to scholarship. Esteemed for his broad knowledge of the history of art and sound aesthetic judgment, Lee was instrumental in encouraging a greater appreciation of Asian art among art historians and the general public. Born in Seattle, Dr. Lee received both bachelors and masters of arts degrees from American University, and a doctoral degree from Case Western Reserve University. Dr. Lee joined CMA in 1952 as curator of Oriental art and became the institution’s third director in 1958. Before coming to the CMA, Lee served as curator of Far Eastern art at the Detroit Institute of Art and associate director of the Seattle Art Museum. | ||||
