Four Scholars, Four Paintings

The Department of Asian Art of the Yale University Art Gallery and the South Asian Studies Council of Yale University present the Alan L. Gans Lectures, with short presentations on four South Asian (Indian) paintings in the Gallery’s collection. Specialists Dipti Khera, Associate Professor of Art History, Institute of Fine Arts, New York University; Mrinalini Rajagopalan, Associate Professor of History of Art and Architecture, University of Pittsburgh; John Seyller, Professor of Art History, University of Vermont; and Emma Natalya Stein, Ph.D. 2017, Assistant Curator of South and Southeast Asian Art, National Museum of Asian Art, Smithsonian Institution, discuss their favorites and explore the many fascinating historical and cultural stories that informed the creation of these works—in different regions of the subcontinent, at different points of time, and under the patronage of diverse rulers. Denise Patry Leidy, the Ruth and Bruce Dayton Curator of Asian Art at the Gallery, and Kasturi Gupta, Director of Programs and Institutional Partnerships, South Asian Studies Council and Council on Southeast Asian Studies, MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies at Yale, introduce the speakers and moderate a question-and-answer session following the presentations.
