Brush and Shutter: Early Photography in China New Exhibition and Related Events
		This new exhibition explores how Chinese painters of the 1800s and early 1900s employed both the ink brush and the camera to adapt the medium of photography to Chinese artistic conventions. Presenting rare photographs and prints from the special collections of the Getty Research Institute, as well as gouaches and oils on loan from the Kelton Foundation, Brush and Shutter explores how photography was both a witness to the dramatic cultural changes taking place in China and a catalyst to further modernization.
