Oxford alumni and friends are invited to a special reception and talk at the Asia Society Hong Kong Centre with Professor Craig Clunas, Head of History of Art Department.
This event is kindly hosted by Asia Society Hong Kong Centre.
Synopsis
This talk will take a long view in considering the market for Chinese art from the Ming period to the 20th century. Do the changes matter more, or is it the continuities we should be paying attention to? In particular, how does the invention of the categories 'traditional and 'modern' in the 20th century relate to the commodities of the art market and the contexts in which they circulate?
About the speaker
Craig Clunas is Head of History of Art Department, University of Oxford, and the first holder of this position to work on art from outwith the European tradition. He is the author of numerous books on the art of China, particularly of the Ming period, and his 2012 A. W. Mellon Lectures at the National Gallery of Art are forthcoming under the title 'Chinese Painting and its Audiences' – which is also the title of his most recent publication.
About Chinese Painting and Its Audiences
What is Chinese painting? When did it begin? And what are the different associations of this term in China and the West? In Chinese Painting and Its Audiences, which is based on the A. W. Mellon Lectures in the Fine Arts given at the National Gallery of Art, leading art historian Craig Clunas draws from a wealth of artistic masterpieces and lesser-known pictures, some of them discussed here in English for the first time, to show how Chinese painting has been understood by a range of audiences over five centuries, from the Ming Dynasty to today. Richly illustrated, Chinese Painting and Its Audiences demonstrates that viewers in China and beyond have irrevocably shaped this great artistic tradition.
