Aida Yuen Wong is Nathan Cummings and Robert B. and Beatrice C. Mayer Professor of Fine Arts and East Asian Studies at Brandeis University, Mass., U.S.A. She is a scholar of Asian art history who has written extensively on transcultural modernisms, with interests in painting, calligraphy, fashion history, and historiography. She received her PhD in Asian art history at Columbia University and completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Chicago. Among her major publications are Parting the Mists: Discovering Japan and the Rise of National-Style Painting in Modern China (University of Hawai'i Press, 2006) (Chinese translation from Taipei: Rock Publishing, 2019), The Other Kang Youwei: Calligrapher, Art Activist, and Aesthetic Reformer in Modern China (Brill, 2016) which explores the art theory and legacy of the late Qing-early Republican reformer whose paradigmatic thinking about painting and calligraphy cast a long shadow on modern/contemporary Chinese art discourses. In addition, she (co-)edited the volumes Visualizing Beauty: Gender and Ideology in Modern East Asia (Hong Kong University Press, 2021), Fashion, Identity, and Power in Modern Asia (London and New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2018), and Seeing and Touching Gender: New Perspectives on Modern Chinese Art (Taipei: Rock Publishing, 2020). Her essay, "Developments of Chinese-style Painting in Post-war Taiwan," appears in General History of Taiwanese Visual Art (Taiwan Art History Association, 2021). Another major essay “Visual History,” is a state-of-the-field article on the global developments of history-recording through images, to be published in 2022 in Bloomsbury History: Theory & Method online.
