Ph.D., Columbia Universty, 1999

Biography

Matthew P. McKelway specializes in the history of Japanese painting, concentrating on Kyoto from the 16th-18th century. His research has focused on the relationship of urban representation and politics in late medieval Kyoto, and the development of genre painting in early modern Japan. More recently he has expanded his interest in the early Kano workshop into two current book projects: a study of Sinological visuality in the work of the 17th century painter Kano Sansetsu, and an investigation of fan paintings as a medium for social intercourse and pictorial experimentation. McKelway's courses include undergraduate surveys of Japanese art, Art Humanities, graduate lectures and seminars on narrative handscrolls, visual arts of the Momoyama period, theories of eccentricity in Edo-period painting, and independent studies in paleography.
