For nearly forty years, John Rosenwald and Ann Arbor have taught and traveled throughout much of China, experiencing life in the largest cities as well as in rural areas. They have been fortunate to create perhaps the largest collection of Chinese peasant paintings, to become among the first collaborative translators of contemporary Chinese poetry, and to gather a remarkable and diverse cluster of Chinese fabric arts and crafts.
