Artist Pae White is represented in Behold, America! by Hobo Woods/Tears of Vietnam (1999). White is an internationally-renowned artist based in Los Angeles and her work, which often involves the refashioning of unexpected materials, has been included in a number of high profile exhibitions at institutions including the Whitney Museum of American Art and the 2009 Venice Biennale.

Sonja Simonis, the present Curatorial Assistant at the Clark Center for Japanese Art and Culture in Hanford, CA, will speak on the important role China has played in the development of the arts in Japan. One example is the effect it had on Japanese landscape painting of the 18th and 19th centuries, Japanese arts adopted Chinese painting methods, style, and motifs. This lecture takes a closer look at the connections between Chinese and Japanese landscape painting through the centuries.
