This book challenges existing notions of what is "American" and/or
"Asian" art, moving beyond the identity issues that have dominated
art-world conversations of the 1980s and the 1990s and aligning
with new trends and issues in contemporary art today, e.g. the
Global South, labor, environment, and gender identity. Contributors
examine both historical and contemporary instances in art practices
and exhibition-making under the rubric of "American art in Asia."
The book complicates existing notions of what constitutes American
art, Asian American (and American Asian) art. As today's production
and display of contemporary art takes place across diffused
borders, under the fluid conditions of a globalized art world since
transformed by the COVID-19 pandemic, new contexts and art
historical narratives are forming that upend traditional
Euro-American mappings of center-margins, migratory patterns and
community engagement. The book will be of interest to scholars
working in art history, American studies, Asian studies and visual
culture.
This book examines the development of national emblems,
photographic portraiture, oil painting, world expositions, modern
spaces for art exhibitions, university programs of visual arts, and
other agencies of modern art in Korea. With few books on modern art
in Korea available in English, this book is an authoritative volume
on the topic and provides a comparative perspective on Asian
modernism including Japan, China, and India. In turn, these essays
also shed a light on Asian reception of and response to the
Orientalism and exoticism popular in Europe and North America in
the early twentieth century. The book will be of interest to
scholars working in art history, the history of Asia, Asian
studies, colonialism, nationalism, and cultural identity.
This edited volume on radical dress reforms in East Asia takes a
fresh look at the symbols and languages of modernity in dress and
body. Dress reform movements around the turn of the twentieth
century in the region have received little critical attention as a
multicultural discourse of labor, body, gender identity,
colonialism, and government authority. With contributions by
leading experts of costume/textile history of China, Korea, and
Japan, this book presents up-to-date scholarship using diverse
methodologies in costume history, history of consumption, and
international trade. Thematically organized into sections exploring
the garments and uniforms, accessories, fabrics, and fashion styles
of Asia, this edited volume offers case studies for students and
scholars in an ever-expanding field of material culture including,
but not limited to, economic history, visual culture, art history,
history of journalism, and popular culture. Fashion, Identity, and
Power in Modern Asia stimulates further research on the impact of
modernity and imperialism in neglected areas such as military
uniform, school uniform, women's accessories, hairstyles, and
textile trade.
Jean Pucelle (fl. ca. 1319-d. 1334) was one of the most prominent
artists of the first half of the fourteenth century, an influential
illuminator who worked closely with a number of collaborators both
known and anonymous. A large number of lavishly-illuminated
manuscripts have been attributed to him based on stylistic
analysis.Scholarly essays in this book explore issues crucial to
the establishment of his distinctinve style: originality,
technique, color palette, influence, levels of resemblance, the
relationships between artistic media, and patronage. The
contributors to this volume analyze the major works associated with
Pucelle or the Pucellian style, and interpret pictorial elements in
the tradition of artistic collaboration. This is the first
collective work devoted entirely to Jean Pucelle and his
legacy.With contributions by Barbara Drake Boehm, Pascale Charron,
Marc Gil, Joan A. Holladay, Marguerite A. Keane, Mie Kuroiwa,
Domenic Leo, Kyunghee Pyun, Anna D. Russakoff and Roger S. Wieck.
Bringing together a wealth of primary sources and with
contributions from leading experts, Dress History of Korea presents
the most recent approaches to the interpretation of dress and
fashion of Korea. Through close analysis of visual, written, and
material sources—some newly excavated or recently re-discovered
in global museums—the book reveals how dress and adornment
evolved from the period of state formation to the modern era.
Authors with a range of academic and curatorial experience discuss
the close relation of dress and adornments to the socio-political
and cultural history of Korea and place the dress history of Korea
within broader contexts in studies of fashion, material culture,
museology, and costume design. As in other cultures, modern Korean
fashion owes many of its styles to historic dress and this process
of adaptation is explored within high fashion and popular culture
contexts in ways that benefit historians, curators, and designers
alike. With key materials newly available to global readers, Dress
History of Korea is the indispensable guide to the study of Korean
dress and fashion.

This volume challenges existing notions of what is “Indian,”
“Southeast Asian,” and/or “South Asian” art to help
educators present a more contextualized understanding of art in a
globalized world. In doing so, it (re)examines how South or
Southeast Asian art is being made, exhibited, circulated and
experienced in new ways in the United States or in regions under
its cultural hegemony. The essays presented in this book examine
both historical and contemporary transformations or lived
experiences of monuments and regional styles (sites) from South or
Southeast Asian art in art making, subsequent usage, and
exhibition-making under the rubric of “Indian,” “South
Asian,” “or “Southeast Asian” Art.
This book explores the work and careers of women, trans, and
third-gender artists engaged in political activism. While some
artists negotiated their own political status in their indigenous
communities, others responded to global issues of military
dictatorship, racial discrimination, or masculine privilege in
regions other than their own. Women, trans, and third-gender
artists continue to highlight and challenge the disturbing legacies
of colonialism, imperialism, capitalism, communism, and other
political ideologies that are correlated with patriarchy,
primogeniture, sexism, or misogyny. The book argues that solidarity
among such artists remains valuable and empowering for those who
still seek legitimate recognition in art schools, cultural
institutions, and the history curriculum.
This book is based on the conference held at the Charles B. Wang
Center, Stony Brook University on March 24-25, 2017. "Documenting
Korean Costume: Primary Sources and New Interpretations" have
invited eleven scholars of dress history and fashion studies to
discuss function and meaning of primary sources in Korean dress
history. The legacy of Korean dress, as seen in archaeological
findings and museum artifacts, is analyzed in comparison to the
dress and fashions of other Asian countries. Korean dress and
accessories have evolved into varied forms in modern times.
Historians and prominent practitioners of dress-making and jewelry
crafting present modern applications of centuries-old traditions of
Korean dress in contemporary arts and designs. These leading
experts also discuss the development of Korean dress and highlight
how it is deeply related to political and economic aspects of
Korean history.
