EAST 141 - Approaches to Chinese Art History

3 HU, CD
First Semester. This survey of China focuses on artistic production from three perspectives: the artisan, artist, and art market. We will survey major art and architecture across a broad geographic and temporal frame (Neolithic-present), but focus on smaller artistic contexts, e.g. temples, tombs, imperial courts and literati circles. We will consider issues of patronage, originality, mass production, and the impact of technologies on the changing form, production and circulation of images. This course is cross-referenced with ARTS 250.
