 | Asialink is delighted to invite you to the Melbourne launch of Friendship in Art: Fou Lei and Huang Binhong by Dr Claire Roberts. Carrillo Gantner AO will officially launch the book and then follow with a Conversation exploring the remarkable friendship between the book’s protagonists Huang Binhong and Fou Lei. Huang Binhong (1865-1955), a revered brush and ink painter and historian and Fou Lei (1908-66), a translator, critic and child of the cosmopolitan New Culture Movement were instrumental in shaping Chinese culture and thought in the first half of the 20th Century. “Through her painstaking work, Claire Roberts has provided non-Chinese readers with elegant access to this profoundly significant cultural conversation.” Geremie R. Barme, author of The Forbidden City (2008). |
Dr Claire Roberts is a curator and historian of Chinese art. She is a research fellow in the College of Asia and the Pacific at the Australian National University.
