Gain insights into how Eastern philosophical systems, including Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism have shaped artistic expression in East Asian art. Examine how viewers interpret and engage with this art, particularly as outsiders to the culture. As John Berger noted, the experience of art can be a ritualistic act, and East Asian art has a distinct focus on ritual as part of understanding. This course will guide you through the process of seeing, interpreting, and appreciating themes such as Buddhist enlightenment and the Daoist idea of "wu wei".
