Four Meditations on Ink

Presenter: Aida Yuen Wong

This talk examines the incomparable medium of ink in modern Asia. Besides evoking the traditional notion of “play,” this medium was reborn in the 20th century as it responded to abstraction, nationalism, and transculturalism.

Aida Yuen Wong is the Nathan Cummings and Robert B. and Beatrice C. Mayer Chair in Fine Arts and Associate Professor of Fine Arts, East Asian Studies and Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies Program at Brandeis University.
