    Nancy LinARTICLEArchives of Asian Art2025

    In this paper I investigate why Mei Lanfang (1894–1961), the male performer of female characters in Peking opera, and images of modern Chinese beauties were featured in the prolific career of the neo-traditional Korean painter Kim Eunho (1892–1979) both during the colonial period in the 1920s and 1930s and in the postwar period in the 1960s and 1970s.

    Nancy Lin, Nancy G LinARTICLEJournal of the History of…2016

    This article examines the deployment of the travelling loan exhibition, 5,000 Years of Korean Art, as an exercise in cultural diplomacy during the era of international blockbuster exhibitions and its subsequent function in the construction of a master narrative of Korean art. Sent abroad during a period of intense domestic political upheaval, the exhibition emerged from a specific political and cultural moment and demonstrated the organizers’ int…
