Paintings In Print

Joint November program sponsored by China Society of Southern California and Chinese Historical Society of Southern California. The $40.00 price includes dinner and program.

We have added a no dinner option if you would like to attend the program but not have dinner. The program will start at 7:00 pm. If you choose this option, please email info@chssc.org and include your name and the names of your guests.

Join us for dinner at Golden Dragon Restaurant followed by a presentation by Michelle Bailey, Assistant Curator at the Huntington Library. She will talk about the current exhibit in the Studio for Lodging the Mind in the Chinese Garden at the Huntington Library.

In the 16th century, Chinese publishers began creating educational manuals filled with colorful prints of paintings and texts on the history and methods of brush arts. The manuals were unprecedented because they taught aspiring painters and collectors from the growing merchant class how to create and appreciate literati art—a combination of painting, calligraphy, and poetry long practiced by elite scholars. This exhibition at The Huntington, which runs from October 7 to May 27, explores the ways these manuals used innovative printing methods to introduce the techniques, history, and appreciation of painting to widening audiences in early modern China.

Date and time: Monday, November 6 @ 6:00 p.m.

Location: Golden Dragon Restaurant, 960 N. Broadway, Los Angeles Chinatown
