Truth and Image: Portraits in China 1000–1900

Joseph Scheier-Dolberg, Oscar Tang and Agnes Hsu-Tang Curator of Chinese Painting, The Metropolitan Museum of Art

 

Portraiture has long been treated as a minor branch of Chinese art history, understood for its functional role in ancestor veneration but rarely considered along stylistic or intellectual lines. This talk will offer pathways toward reimagining the study of portraiture in premodern China, arguing that portraits were deeply integrated into the lives of elite intellectuals and that they stimulated and mediated a rich discourse on questions of selfhood, identity, and representation.
