On Defiance: An Iconoclastic Ink Painter in 19th Century Guangdong

On Defiance: An Iconoclastic Ink Painter in 19th Century Guangdong
1/1
Held in conjunction with the Royal Asiatic Society of Hong Kong, we welcome Dr. Yeewan Koon from the University of Hong Kong. Dr. Koon will be discussing the 19th century painter Su Renshan, who rebelled against the institutions of Confucian learning and whose work reflected his frustrations against a government that failed to protect Guangdong from the British, the opium trade and the local bandits who plagued the area. His work examines what it is to be at once a scholar-official of his time, yet one who is also exiled and imprisoned.
本月,我們與皇家亞洲學會合 作,邀請到來自香港大學藝術學系的官綺雲博士。官博士將會在講座中探討一位十九世紀的廣東——畫家蘇仁山 (1814–1850),他背叛傳統的儒家禮教,作品反映出當時的清政府未能抵抗英國對廣東的入侵這一挫折,之後的鴉片貿易和土匪問題一直困擾廣東地區。作為當時一個學者型官員,因作品觸犯當時的政治禁忌,遭到流放和監禁。
