About
Anne Burkus-Chasson is an Associate Professor of Art History at the School of Art & Design, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. She holds a BA from Oberlin College, and both an MA and PhD from the University of California, Berkeley. Her research focuses on painting and woodblock-printed books of the late Ming period (1520–1644) in China. Her scholarly work explores literary and visual strategies of self-representation, the relationship between words and pictorial images, optics and the nature of seeing, as well as the materiality of illustrated foliated books from late imperial China. Her notable contributions include an award-winning article published in The Art Bulletin in 1994, and a book published by the Harvard Asia Center in 2010. Her research has been supported by several fellowships and academic programs, including the Louise W. Hackney Fellowship, the J. Paul Getty Postdoctoral Fellowship, and the Center for Advanced Study at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Currently, she is researching and writing a second book that examines the complex relationship between painting and print during the late Ming period, focusing on the artist Chen Hongshou.
