Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Within the broader context of Chinese medieval art, this seminar will focus on the artistic production that has a narrative content, in other words, on works of art that illustrates stories. The stories depicted may come from religious background or be derived from legends, myths, or literature, supposedly widely known by the contemporary audience. There are different types of narrative art as well as different methods adopted by the artists to display time and space. These methods may change according to various factors (cultural background, esthetic choices, function of the art objects and so on). Following the historical evolution of Chinese art we will observe those changes and try to identify the inputs that lie behind certain choices. In particular we will analyze how the introduction of Buddhism affected the ways of representing narratives in Chinese art.
