Bio/Research
Professor Wang is currently working on two book projects. The first focuses on the painting theme Qingming shanghe (Up the River during Qingming Days), tackling issues regarding the construction of a painting history through thematic links, the complicated relationship between a primordial artwork and its later derivatives, and the rise of city views in late sixteenth-century China. The second investigates the city views of eighteenth-century China; major issues include power and landscape painting, the construction of local identity through landscape, and the use and appropriation of European stylistic elements in Chinese landscapes. In the future, she will continue her work on traditional Chinese painting, with an emphasis on their materiality. She will also turn her publications on exhibition culture and heritage preservation in early twentieth-century China into a book, focused on the Forbidden City and the history of the Palace Museum.
