Research Abstract |
I specialize in the art and images of late Qing and twentieth-century China, with a particular interest in painting, photography and the printed image. My recent focus has been on the relationships between images and audiences, including how artists negotiate relationships with viewers through the art work and other means. I am currently completing a book manuscript on images, artists and audiences in later nineteenth-century Shanghai. | |
