Episode 9: Stephanie Schrader On The Depiction Of Asia In European Art

Stephanie Schrader, PhD, delivers the 22nd Mary Stevens Reckford Memorial Lecture in European Studies entitled Appropriating Asia: The Depiction of the Exotic in European Art. In this special episode, she reveals the inspiration for this lecture and gives a preview of what appropriation and exotification might mean in the historical context of trade and religion in Europe and Asia. In telling this story of art, Dr. Schrader uses four artworks in the Getty Museum collection to survey the appropriation of Asian culture by European artists from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century. She also said she looks forward to visiting the North Carolina Museum of Art while she is in the area. The lecture will be held Tuesday, Feb. 25, at 7:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. For more information, visit us here or on Facebook.
