		•The Lady at the Window Figure Painting in the Qing Dynasty September 12, 2001 - February 28, 2002
			Beautiful women (meiren), scholar-poets, a fierce demon-queller, as well as beggars and street vendors will appear in a new exhibit exploring the many ways Chinese painters presented the human figure in the Qing dynasty. The 17th-century figure painter and woodblock designer Chen Hongshou (1599-1652) has had the most lasting influence on this presentation. His portrait-like images of men and doll-like women will be compared to works by painters of the 19th-century Shanghai school. The exhibit features two enormous ancestor portraits, a figural tradition that has often been overlooked.
