Monday | 06:15 PM | The Making of a Standard Mountain: Huangshan Photography and the History of Chinese Painting, 1931-1935 Dr. Juliane Noth, Universität Heidelberg, Institut für Kunstgeschichte Ostasiens In the 1930s, Huangshan, a mountain famous for its scenic beauty, became tourist destination, and a frequent motif in photography as well as painting. Practitioners of both media referenced earlier Chinese painting traditions as the mountain was reconfigured as emblematic of a national landscape. This lecture will examine how photographers adapted their medium to the landscape, and the ways in which this changed perceptions about the history and the pictorial conventions of ink painting.
