Chinese Art
In this eclectic selection of Chinese art, three centuries move through the same bloodline of silk and stare. Qing dynasty officials in sapphire hanfu, Manchu noblewomen crowned in coral and jade, a scholar whose Confucian bearing bends, imperceptibly, into longing — this is the lineage that runs, unbroken, into Gaysian cowboys, lesbian cowgirls, and a Chinese astronaut haloed in imperial gold. Court embroidery rides west into frontiers the dynasty never charted, and the frontier rides back, restitched into dragon-robe collars and coral-topped crowns.
