Chinese Ceramics from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)

The World of Chinese Ceramics: An Introduction In conjunction with the exhibition Chinese Ceramics from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Dr. Stephen Little, Florence and Harry Sloan Curator of Chinese Art and Department Head, Chinese and Korean Art Departments at LACMA, presents a survey of the long and brilliant history of ceramics in China. The lecture will explore the technological development of ceramics (including different types of clay, the technology of kilns and firing, and of glazing) as a window into the worlds of Chinese cosmology, mythology, symbolism, and narratives, and finally the role of Chinese ceramics as an influential export commodity to Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.
