Abstract

The article discusses "Monstrous Beauty: A Feminist Revision of Chinoiserie," an exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art that explores the European orientalist imagination in porcelain from the 16th to 18th centuries. Curated by Iris Moon, the exhibition juxtaposes historical porcelain objects with contemporary works by Asian and Asian American artists, challenging traditional notions of femininity and the exoticization of East Asian identity. It highlights the contributions of historical Chinese women and critiques the cultural stereotypes perpetuated in previous exhibitions, aiming to present a radical feminist perspective on Chinoiserie and its implications in contemporary society.
