University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

PQ: Prior knowledge of East Asian art required; knowledge of Chinese or Japanese recommended. This course aims to provide groundwork skills in conducting primary research in the study of Chinese painting history. We emphasize the study of early periods, especially the Song and Yuan Dynasties. We consider implications in the material investigation of medium (e.g., silk, paper, mounting, ink, color) in conjunction with relevant sinological tools. We discuss connoisseurship practices and issues of authenticity and provenance (i.e., identification and judging of the authenticity of seals and inscriptions). P. Foong. Autumn.
