In the last post<\/a>, I announced that our work making a collection of Chinese art available was complete. I am pleased to announce that due primarily to efforts by current students we now have more information to share about these works! This post contains individual images of the works, their translations, and details the students found on some of the artists. I will also add information to the works in the descriptions in the online Campus Art Collection<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Special thanks for providing English translations of these works go to
\nDawn Mengheng Wang, Class of 2022;
\nEsther Siqi Yang, Class of 2023;
\nand Amber Ruofei Shuang, Class of 2025.<\/p>\n

Dawn\u2019s father, Yuhua Wang, who is a Professor of Chinese History, identified the traditional Chinese characters on the paintings.<\/p>\n

Thanks also to Dr. Tom Lutze, IWU Professor of History, for finalizing the translations of the poetry. Dr. Lutze notes that, as with any attempt to translate poetry from one language to another, more improvements would be possible.<\/p>\n

What follows is a gallery of six images that contain brief text about the works. Two pieces with poetry are shown individually below the gallery.
