Susan Lee received her Ph.D. in History of Art at the University of Michigan in 2003. Her field of specialization is Japanese painting and prints, with a particular focus on Momoyama and early Edo period screen painting. In addition to the arts of Japan she also teaches the arts of China and Korea. She has researched the representation of prostitution, with emphasis on the idealized figure of the cultured courtesan in paintings from Edo period Japan and Chosun dynasty Korea. Additional research interests include the political uses of the art historical category of “genre painting” in modern art historical practice in Japan and Korea.
