  • ART 302: Arts of the Landscape and the Garden in China and Japan

    3.00 Credits
    Hobart William Smith Colleges

    In China and Japan, the natural landscape becomes a primary theme of artistic expression, and the cultivated garden is perceived as a related entity. This course examines East Asian traditions of landscape painting, pictorial representations of gardens, and the historic gardens (often understood as microcosmic landscapes) of Suzhou and Kyoto. Students explore how these diverse works of art play upon the dichotomy between nature and artifice and consider their social, political and religious implications. Students read landscape and garden texts from both cultures in translation, as well as selections from the secondary literature dealing with these themes. (Blanchard, Fall, offered alternate years)
