The Empire's New Cloth
Unfolding the Screen
Studying the history of American design and furniture from the lens of Asian aesthetics is a complex area of study because the objects and their living spaces can only be understood by tracing their connections to often invisible cultural dialogues and practices. Within such a dense framework, this article examines one ubiquitous furniture form: the movable screen. From the earliest surviving screens in China, dating to the eighth century, to exa…

In exploring displays in European and North-American museums with regards to Chinese arts, this article discusses how cultural hierarchies from Western hegemonies structure the concept of global art.

My analysis of Castiglione's unique career is based predominantly on an unpublished manuscript source, the Jesuit posthumous memoir of the artist, today in the main archive of the Order in Rome.
