Brush-and-Ink: From East to West and Back Again

February 10, 12:00pm - 1:30pm
Mānoa Campus, https://hawaii.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_1DZC4GFsRH6zxrYeSBNvOw

This presentation takes as its point of departure Pan Gongkai's recent attempts to develop a new theory of the cultural specificity of Chinese brush-and-ink painting. It examines in detail his claim that the development of this medium is owing to the uniqueness of literati culture, but suggests that this culture, together with Chinese brush-and-ink, needs to be understood in terms of the Daoist worldview which forms its point of departure. Accordingly, Prof. Tanke argues that the chief differences between classical Chinese painting and classical Western painting are owing to fundamental assumptions about the nature of reality.
