Painting the Paragons: Figurative Painting of the Han and Tang.

Please note lectures a re in Mandarin Chinese.  Admission is free.

Confucian teachi ngs place great importance and heavy emphasis on learning from history\, an d this theme sheds light on selected works from the Han to Tang dynasties t hat feature didactic lessons from the past. The 3rd century BC Wu Liang Shr ine carvings uphold ancestor deeds as models for emulation while Gu Kaizhi' s 7th century scroll\, Admonitions of the Instructress to the Court Ladies\ , promotes legendary virtuous women as outstanding subjects to admire.

< p>INTRODUCTION
In a series of five lectures\, Dr. Tsao Hsingyuan explo res the continuity of memory\, and traces how selected art objects and pain tings of China from the Neolithic period to the 20th century are records of the past. In the first talk of the series\, Art for Eternity: Ritual and M ortuary Offerings\, Dr. Tsao reveals how massive bronze vessels and small p ortable jade pieces testify to a sense of extended time. In Painting the Pa ragons: Figurative Painting of the Han and Tang\, tomb art and scrolls from the Han to Tang dynasties show how personal and legendary tales were model s for emulation. Referencing Antiquity: Values of Literati Art outlines how Literati Art theory\, through promoting the use of the past\, pushes paint ing to breathtaking compositions and styles. Innovation in Continuity: Crea tivity and Tradition discusses how the values of Literati Painting have end ured and manifested in art of the 20th century. In the final lecture\, Priv ate Passions: Collecting and Collections\, selections from prominent collec tions of books\, paintings and calligraphy in Vancouver will be featured in a discussion on the impact of art collections on cultural landscapes.
