Abstract:
This lecture focused on Prof. Bennett’s research about the development of the landscape genre in Japanese painting history. She is an art historian of premodern Japan with a specialization in medieval painting. Within that realm, her research has focused on the fifteenth-century monk-painter Sesshū Tōyō (1420–ca. 1506). She is particularly interested in Sino-Japanese cultural relations in the premodern period and much of her scholarship is interregional in nature.
