A survey on the arts of East Asia through focused case studies of individual artworks and sites. We will examine tombs that served as crucibles for the deceased soul, calligraphies that embodied kinesthetic energy, sculptures endowed with organs, and contemporary art that ironizes tradition. The objects and sites under consideration will sometimes raise historical questions about the impact of one tradition upon the others, allowing us to see East Asia as a culturally connected microregion. In other cases, the lectures will bring together works that require us to think more critically about how we analyze and interpret the history of artistic production. Students will also conduct object-based study of East Asian artworks at the Eskenazi Museum of Art.
