Beauty Revealed: Images of Women in Qing Dynasty Chinese Painting investigates a relatively unexamined area of Chinese art history: meiren (beautiful women) paintings from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This exhibition is the first to bring together a broad selection of paintings in this genre, and includes work from public and private collections in the United States and Europe, as well as from the BAM/PFA collection. Organized by Senior Curator for Asian Art Julia M. White in collaboration with UC Berkeley Professor Emeritus James Cahill, one of the world's leading scholars of Chinese painting, the exhibition is accompanied by a catalog with essays by Cahill, White, Sarah Handler, and Chen Fongfong with a contribution by Nancy Berliner.
