Examination of art produced in China from the 17th
century to 1949, with a focus on work created in
four cities: Suzhou, Guangzhou, Beijing, and
Shanghai. Considerations of relationships between
the built environment and artist production;
definitions of modernity; artistic conventions and
religious beliefs of the Manchu court; impacts of
trade with Europe and America on visual culture;
responses to new reproductive technologies,
including lithography and photography; woodblock
print and film as mediums of political protest.
