Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Legends and landscapes, flowers and poems: a survey of Chinese painting.
The course is a survey on the history of Chinese painting from the Han dynasty (206 BCE- 220 CE) through the Song dynasty (960-1279). While tracing the general development of pictorial art in China, attention will be paid to major themes such as narrative painting, landscape painting, the relationship between poetry and painting, devotional (particularly buddhist) and secular pictorial representations, theories on the use of the brush and the connection between painting and calligraphy.
