Few works of art are as remote or unique to Western eyes as ancient Chinese bronzes. These beautiful ritual vessels, which constituted the mainstream of Chinese art for nearly 1500 years, are often of unsurpassed technical refinement and define the very essence of early Chinese art. Join us for this engrossing talk by Joe Zhou about Chinese bronzes. Joe, an English-speaking ex-departmental curator with thirteen years experience at the Shanghai Museum, has a particular interest in this important Chinese art form, and his insights will help you appreciate the Museum's pieces on display.
