Cosmopolitanism and Cultural Translation. A Conversation about James McNeill Whistler’s Peacock Room

Glazer, Lee; Pierson, Stacey

Abstract

The authors discuss Chinese ceramics and James McNeill Whistler’s Peacock Room as a case study in cultural translation and cosmopolitan aestheticism. The article, derived from a talk given by the authors at a conference on the global impact of Asian aesthetics on American art held at Winterthur in 2018, includes additional contextual information and background about those individuals and interpretive communities that informed the Peacock Room’s creation and institutional afterlife.
