SUMMARY:CANCELED: Virtual Realities: Extreme Illusionism in Qing Court Painting
DESCRIPTION:Please note that the Museum is taking the necessary precautions and following the guidelines communicated by the California Department of Public Health. Due to their recommendations of limiting nonessential gatherings and the extension of federal social distancing guidelines to April 30\,  this event has been canceled.  We regret the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding of these circumstances. Please contact the Museum with any questions at 619.232.7931 or check here for updates. \nCreating the illusion of three dimensions on a two-dimensional surface has historically been a goal of some artists both in Europe and China\, but utilizing very different approaches. What were the tricks of the trade used by these artists and how was illusionistic art valued by its audiences? In the early 18th century\, a collision of these two traditions occurred\, primarily between a supreme connoisseur\, the Qianlong Emperor\, and an extraordinarily versatile artist\, Giuseppe Castiglione\, also known as Lang Shining. The marvels in art and architecture that they co-created will be the subject of this lecture by Dr. Elaine Pierce\, Museum docent.\n \nSponsored by the Asian Arts Council \nFree AAC members / $10 Museum members /$12 nonmembers / $8 students

SUMMARY:The Politics of Performance: Akbar and Images of Sun Veneration
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, November 23\n10:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.\nMuseum Boardroom \nThough Mughal emperor Akbar remained a Sunni Muslim\, he borrowed from various religious traditions as a means of appealing to the spiritually diverse populace over which he ruled.

SUMMARY:The Indianization of Southeast Asia
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, August 31\n10:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.\nMuseum Boardroom \nIndia has gifted the countries of Southeast Asia with many treasures. These gifts include religions – Hinduism and Buddhism\, languages –  Sanskrit and Pali\, their arts and literature\, philosophy and legal system. A lasting evidence of these influences can be seen in the extant religious architecture and sculpture  of Southeast Asia. Using the Indian prototype\, local builders blended it with their own indigenous icon and produced a new art resembling that of India but differing slightly in each country. \nHelen Anderson will survey the existing sculpture and architecture of Vietnam\, Cambodia\, Thailand and Burma\, linking it to the Indian prototype. She will also discuss the manner by which these Indian ideas were transmitted. Anderson has lived in Asia for many years\, where she immersed herself in the art and culture of China\, Singapore\, Thailand\, India and Iran. Having studied Chinese ceramics and Buddhist art and architecture\, she has presented at The National Palace Museum in Taipei\, The National Museum of Bangkok\, the Phoenix Art Museum\, as well as The San Diego Museum of Art. \nSponsored by the South Asian Art Council (SAAC)
