This introductory lecture will present an overview of the development of Chinese painting from the Tang (618-907) through the Qing (1644-1912). Examining a few masterworks from collections around the world, the talk will discuss subjects, artists, and styles, and explore the reasons for change and evolution over the centuries. This lecture is presented as a ‘preview’ for the exhibition of Chinese paintings at the Victoria & Albert in London and is recommended for those going on the London trip in October.

 

Dr. Robert Mowry is Curator Emeritus of Chinese Art at the Sackler Museum at Harvard and a beloved speaker for our Arts of Asia series. His expertise on Chinese and Korean paintings, and especially ceramics, is well known to our audience.
