1. Embodied Image
Chinese Calligraphy from the John B. Elliott Collection
A scholarly study of Chinese painting and calligraphy that argues brushstrokes function as embodied actions linking mind, body, and social identity; through close readings of historical works and aesthetic texts it shows how gesture, material technique, and philosophical ideas (especially literati and Chan thought) make images into lived, performative expressions of self and cultural meaning.
