About the Event
We continue the fourth session in the series Survey of Art in China where through a systematic study, we will explore the social context in which calligraphy and ink painting arose in China. Why is calligraphy one of the highest and the most esteemed arts in China? Was it always a critically elevated form of art? The emergence of calligraphy then gave way to the esteemed genre of ink painting.
Julie Chun (Adjunct Professor of Art History) will provide an accessible introduction into this vast and highly important art historical field of ink-based art, breaking down key points to reveal a fascinating and insightful glimpse into China’s intriguing past that continues to inform the present.
