"Contained Visions: John Thomson (1837-1921), Photography, and the Chinese Export Image." Can China and the Chinese be contained in an image? Acting as expert, traveler, and witness, the photographer John Thomson (1837-1921) appears to answer this question in the affirmative with the first photographic book on China, his monumental "Illustrations of China and Its People" (1873-74). However, within the documentary intentions of his photographs run complex interactions with earlier representations of China as seen in Chinese export art and its producers. This talk will address Thomson’s reproductions and imitations of the fanciful and fictive export image, and his engagement with the imagined Chinese artist. Roberta Wue is associate professor of Art History and director of the PhD Program in Visual Studies at the University of California, Irvine. For more information visit: visarts.ucsd.edu
