Marsha Haufler (Professor Emerita, The University of Kansas) specializes in the history of Chinese painting, Chinese Buddhist art, and Tibeto-Chinese painting, and maintains a strong interest in the arts of Korea. She is currently working on two very different research projects, a visual history of Pyongyang, DPRK, and a study of the thangkas collected by Laurence Sickman in the 1930s. Now retired, she is no longer accepting doctoral students, but encourages students to apply to our graduate program to study the arts of China, Korea, and Japan with the department’s exceptionally strong team of East Asian specialists.
What is this book about?
For well over a thousand years Chinese and Japanese women created, commissioned, collected and used paintings, yet until recently this fact has scarcely been acknowledged in the study of East Asian art by Westerners.
