Tang Professor of Chinese Art History at Princeton University and director of Princeton’s Tang Center for East Asian Art, will discuss the gardens of Sichuan province and the differences of style and patronage from other regional gardens of China. Developed in relative isolation from omperial and Suzhou style gardens, the gardens of this southwestern province can shed a great deal of light on the complex history of gardens in general in China.
