Literati art is a form of Chinese art that expresses art as a way of life and personality. Literati tradition requires artists to practice a multi-disciplinary approach by being masters in poetry, calligraphy, carving and painting. A reception for the exhibition will include a lecture by OU Art and Art History Professor Shuishan Yu.
Two events will be held in conjunction with the exhibition. On Oct. 16, 2009 at 8 p.m. in Varner Recital Hall, Guqin Concert: Archaic Scent of the Plum Pavilion provides an introduction to Guqin music and culture. Guqin is one of four noble arts of the literati tradition.
