Scholars from the U.S. and Taiwan discuss topics ranging from the cultural tradition of Chinese scholar-artists and issues of content and message in art in Communist China, to emerging questions about diversity and originality when Chinese art goes global. A Western art historian further comments on the way art history perceives and teaches Asian art. The event concludes with a personal perspective from the collector and scholar, Dr. Chu-tsing Li, whose life has spanned the tumultuous cultural and political events of the 20th century.
