June 6 &#38; 7, 2019The Institute of Fine Arts, New York University1 East 78th Street Scholars of Chinese art have only just begun to recognize that modern trends in painting began neither with the Revolution of 1911 nor with the wartime displacement of artists and patrons to Shanghai in the 1850s. Instead, as new research in art history, literature, and cultural history is beginning to show, the attitudes of later Chinese painters were rooted in the work of painters active from 1790 to 1830.This workshop brings together scholars of early nineteenth- century Chinese painting to showcase this research and to share their ideas on how to innovate outdated methodologies. Structured as a two-day event, the workshop considers a body of material that has remained largely unknown and which is notoriously difficult to classify, even to specialists. This is a crucial moment for the collective reconsideration of key issues in painting studies, and a workshop on painting in China around 1800 will catalyze a reconsideration of the field of modern Chinese painting at large.&#160;Schedule of Events:June 6, 2019 5:00pm – 6:00pmKeynote Lecture “China, 1800,” Tobie Meyer-Fong, Johns Hopkins UniversityJune 7, 2019 9:15am - 9:45am Opening Remarks 9:45am - 11:00am Session I: Networks Michele Matteini, New York University Marion S.
