The Scholarly Arts of China
by
Jonathan Chaves
Jonathan Chaves is Professor of Chinese Language and Literature at The George Washington University. He is the author of The Chinese Painter as Poet (2000), Singing of the Source: Nature and God in the Poetry of the Chinese Painter Wu Li (1632-1718) (1993), and The Columbia Book of Later Chinese Poetry: Yüan, Ming and Ch’ing Dynasties (1986), as well as numerous articles. He also co-authored Old Taoist: The Life, Art, and Poetry of Kodojin (2000), and Japanese and Chinese Poems to Sing: The Wakan roei shu (1997). In his slide-illustrated presentation Professor Chaves will examine the interrelationships among the "Three Perfections" in traditional Chinese civilization: poetry, painting, and calligraphy. The integration of the three arts will be demonstrated through the study of paintings that have original poems by the painter inscribed upon them. The influence of the Chinese arts on Japan will also be touched upon.
