Making Images of Feelings: Interiority, Passion, and Meaning in Song Dynasty Paintings of Women

In this talk, Professor Lara Blanchard examines the ways in which paintings of women from China’s Song dynasty (960–1279) reveal emotions and even passion through their correspondence to erotic poetry.

This lecture was presented by the Oriental Ceramic Society of Hong Kong on 22 March 2022 as the 2021 K.S. Lo Memorial Lecture, thanks to the generosity of the Lo Kwee Seong Foundation.
