ARTH 154. Art of Modern China: Honors Seminar


This honors seminar explores modern and contemporary Chinese art and visual culture, with a greater emphasis on the period between the founding of the Republic and the end of the Cultural Revolution. Taking advantage of recent surge in scholarship on visual and material culture from this period, the course examines key artists, movements, and landmark exhibitions, major debates and issues, and how the narrative of modern art has developed in its domestic and global contexts. By studying works across media in tandem with primary sources including artist writings, group manifestoes, and exhibition statements, we consider how artistic concerns engaged with the unfolding seismic sociopolitical and economic transformations in China, as well as with an expanding art world and art market.
