LISA CLAYPOOL
Asst. Prof. of Art History
Box 92, Ph. (503) 768-7389
e-mail: claypool@lclark.edu
Lisa Claypool specializes in the history of nineteenth-
and early twentieth-century Chinese art. She is particularly
interested in mapping shifts in visuality over the course of
the nineteenth century--in trying to understand both how and
why ways of looking at things changed over time--as well as
studying painting practice and histories of collecting.
Recently she completed a dissertation entitled Figuring
the Body: Painting Manuals in Late Imperial China.
Currently she is researching the first museum established in
China, a topic which has led her into a second project on
images of gardens and other ostensibly public spaces in tour
guides published at the turn of the century. Professor
Claypool teaches upper-level courses on print cultures of
early modern East Asia, Chinese portraiture, the meeting of
Eastern and Western art, and twentieth-century Chinese
art.
