The course presents a critical approach to the relationship between art and culture in China. The goal of the course is to understand the forms, meanings and circulation of the Chinese arts from the perspective of its producers. The traditional arts of Imperial China will be approached chronologically from within several thematic areas. The primary focus in these area will be the relationship between art and culture, with particular attention paid to painting produced in the literati or amateur artist tradition. The course examines issues such as the transnational circulation of Chinese artists, the representation of China’s ethnic minorities, and the Western conceptions of Chinese tradition. Counts for Asian Studies.
