The Seventh Annual Asian Art Lecture

Galloping Through Dynasties
Sunday October 16, 2022
2 p.m.
Fath Auditorium
Free. Seating is first come, first served. 

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, Hou-mei Sung, PhD, Curator of East Asian Art at the Cincinnati Art Museum will explore the evolution of horse depiction in both its symbolic and its stylistic aspects throughout Chinese history. This lecture will also include many of her recent research findings and decoded messages of Chinese horse paintings to reveal rich information about Chinese history and culture.  

Please join for a reception following the lecture. 

This lecture is made possible by a generous grant from Barbara Weyand to the Cincinnati Asian Art Society.
