中文云講座-超越美學：名畫背後的思想博弈

English: For centuries, Western artists have translated theology, ideology, and patriotism into forms and images, something one can see, feel, and long remember. Artworks are much more than decoration. They often function as a way of persuasion: teaching the illiterate, stirring devotion, and inspiring hope. They play an important role in preserving history and cultural identity. For this virtual series, we have chosen masterpieces by great artists like Caravaggio, Vermeer, David, and others to explore how and what they tried to convey and convince. Our presenter John Wang holds master's degrees in World Religions from Harvard University and in English Literature from Shanghai International Studies University. He is a contributor to World Journal Weekly and Xinmin Evening Newspaper. Join us on Zoom: https://queenslib.org/4s8YJ9X Meeting ID: 813 2683 0815 Passcode: 078124
Chinese: 本系列跳脫藝術鑒賞單純的美學視角，而以「宣傳功能」為線索，解讀西方藝術史，從文藝復興的理性追求，到巴洛克時期的激情感召，從新古典主義的英雄崇拜，到浪漫主義的個性解放，我們一起深入探討藝術在歷史關鍵時期所承載的社會功能與思想表達，從而增進對西方藝術的理解和認識。 講師王志強是哈佛大學比較宗教學碩士，上海外國語大學英美文學碩士，曾多次在世界日報周刊和新民晚報發表作品。 Zoom鏈接：https://queenslib.org/4s8YJ9X 會議號碼: 813 2683 0815 密碼：078124
