Art History 280ib - Colloquium: Topics in Art Historical Studies-Playing with Ink and Brush

For more than a thousand years, ink has been maintained as the principal medium of painting and calligraphy in East Asia. This course surveys the continuities and ruptures of East Asian ink art seen through the formal, cultural and political factors. It also unravels the constant re-appropriation of the “archaic” medium. The course embraces art works in various media—paintings, calligraphy, books, woodblock prints, installation, performance and animation—that were created by premodern and modern artists. Sessions will be organized both thematically and according to a rough, chronological sequence. Group A, B
