A research exhibition using Chinese and Western landscape works from the twelfth century to the present in an examination of what is meant by the term “landscape.” Is landscape a subject or theme to be represented as natural scenery or imagined geography? Does it show a location in time—past, present, or future—or is it timeless, placeless, or sometimes even without form? This exhibition begins research into concepts of land as embodied in the arts as experiences between man and environment. How do Chinese experiences and notions of land accord with artistic representations and aesthetic perceptions of actual or idealized landscapes? Do such concepts differ from the Western experience of landscape?

Envisioning the World: The First Printed Maps, 1472-1700 opens in the Leonard L. Milberg Gallery of Princeton University Library at 4 pm on Sunday, February 7, 2010. Presenting approximately 30 rare world maps, drawn from the collection of Henry Wendt, Princeton Class of 1955, the exhibition explores the major trends in intellectual history from the early Renaissance through the scientific era of the Enlightenment. Through the language of cartography, the maps illustrate the way in which scientists, mathematicians, explorers and cartographers came to grips with the shape, size and nature of the earth as a whole and its place in the universe. Highlighted are the important contributions to this evolving cosmography of Ptolemy (2nd cent.), Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543), Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) and Edmond Halley (1656-1742). Preceding the opening, at 3 pm in 101 McCormick at the Princeton University Museum, Henry Wendt will talk about the creation of his collection and Princeton professor Eileen Reeves, director of the Program in European Cultural Studies, will lecture on "Galileo: The Starry Messenger," about the great astronomer and his influence on world views.

Self-portraits and depictions of other artists by nineteenth- and twentieth-century artists from Goya to Warhol explore the concept of the artist as image. Prints and drawings from the Museum’s extensive collection, including works by Edgar Degas, Marc Chagall, and Edvard Munch, and other seldom-seen works like a self-portrait drawing by Paul Cézanne from the Pearlman Collection, illustrate the idea of the artist as a conceptual and historical construct in Western art.
