SAM Crow Screen Magnet

Wrapped magnet with image of the Crow Screen (Japanese, early 17th century). Includes card with artwork information and cellophane wrap. A pair of six panel screens, the Crow Screens have been one of the most iconic works in the museum’s collection.  These screens present a striking image of ninety black crows against gold background. The screens capture the motion of the crow so cinematically: one could almost see them taking flight or hear their cawing. Its authorship remains a mystery because of the absence of a signature, but whoever painted these screens clearly observed the bird carefully and was a master in rendering its motions and poses.
