The Cincinnati Asian Art Society presents the Seventh Annual Asian Art Lecture on October 16, 2022 at 2 p.m. in the Fath Auditorium.

The horse is one of the oldest and most interesting painting subjects in China. From the ancient Zhou dynasty (ca. 1045–771 BC) to the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), the horse, which played an important role in shaping the sociopolitical world of China, has formed an engaging symbolic language. In this program, Dr. Sung will explores the evolution of Chinese horse painting in both its symbolic and its stylistic aspects throughout Chinese history. This lecture will also include many of her recent research findings and decode the symbolic language of Chinese horse painting to reveal rich information about Chinese history and culture.

Please join for a reception following the lecture.

In his new book, Home Waters, journalist and author John Maclean revisits his family’s ties to Montana’s beautiful and remote Blackfoot River. The family’s story was immortalized by his father, Norman Maclean, in A River Runs Through It – an instant classic when it was published in 1976 and today among the most beloved books in fly fishing’s extensive literary canon.  As described by the book’s publisher, Home Waters is a “meditation on fly fishing and life along the Blackfoot, where four generations of Macleans have fished, bonded and drawn timeless lessons from the river’s storied waters.” John will talk about his book and his father’s, read excerpts and take questions from the audience.
