Templeton Colloquium 2024: Moving Things, Making Ideas: China-Inspired Objects & International Trade
February 23 @ 4:00 pm
China exported immense quantities of art across the globe in the early modern era, which made Chinese art highly influential in international design trends. The 2024 Templeton Colloquium in Art History will explore the influence of Chinese art and aesthetics on European and East Asian societies. Chinese art brought cultures into contact with each other, created increased awareness of geographically distant societies, and shaped modern tastes in art. A reception follows the colloquium.
Two speakers will present talks. Tamara Bentley, Colorado College, will present “Thinking Globally, 1660-1770: The Impact of Chinese Visual Commodities on French and British Material Culture.” Bentley was editor-in-chief and chapter author for Picturing Commerce in the East Asian Maritime Circuits, 1550-1800 (Amsterdam University Press,2019). Katharine Burnett, UC Davis professor of art history, will discuss “Art History Without the Art: The Curious Case of Sino-Vietnamese Teapots Before 1700.” Her most recent book is Shaping Chinese Art History: Pang Yuanji and His Painting Collection (Amherst, NY: Cambria Press, 2020).
Organized by Professor Michael Yonan. Co-sponsored by the Department of Art and Art History and the Manetti Shrem Museum.
