Art
In Asian art, contemplating nature intended to provide wisdom for living life – people among people. Asian American art, however focuses not on external nature, but the nature of internal life of people living in an anonymous society where social constructions of identity provide borders to enclose or to break through. Discuss this dichotomy in terms of Asian brush painting, Japanese woodblock paintings and the Asian American art of the JAM Woirkshop and artists in Fresh Talk, Daring Gazes. Use examples of art and artists to illustrate your points.
