In this fascinating examination of the modern woodblock print medium in China, Professor Xiaobing Tang, author of "Origins of the Avant-Garde: the Modern Woodcut Movement," will offer a brief history of the development of woodblock prints as an art form in China, focusing on the multiple uses and genres this medium acquired over many centuries. He will then follow the key dimensions of the new woodcut movement and its aftermath in the twentieth century. By putting artistic images back into their historical and cultural contexts, Professor Tang will demonstrate how woodblock prints form a vital part of modern and contemporary Chinese visual culture.
