\nHKU students with priority<\/p>\nAbstract: <\/strong>The artist Jin Zhang (1884-1939) and her brother Jin Cheng (1878-1926) were unusual among late Qing artists in the length of time they spent in Europe, in the decade prior to World War One. Yet these painters, who had the widest exposure to Western work, are often spoken of as among the most ‘traditional’ in style. This talk will explore the role of European sojourns in the lives of these two significant figures, and examine the ways in which they negotiated the increasingly firm boundary being drawn at the time between ‘Chinese’ and ‘Western’ art.<\/p>\nSpeaker: <\/strong>Craig Clunas is Professor Emeritus of the History of Art, University of Oxford, and the author of over a dozen books on Chinese art and culture.
