Professor Hui-shu Lee will be hosted by Princeton University’s Tang Center with her lecture Picturing West Lake: The Poetics and Representation of an Iconic Place.  Her talk will explore how a pictorial tradition in the representation of an iconic place was emplaced, fashioned, refashioned, transmuted and transmitted over time to convey cultural value, historical memory, political ideology, and artistic expression.
