Weinuo, JIN Jin Weinuo (Chinese: 金维诺; 1924 – 17 February 2018), also known by his pen name Ruo Jin, was a Chinese art historian and educator. He was a founding professor in the Department of Art History at the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA)[1] and is recognized for his contributions to Dunhuang studies, Chinese Buddhist art, and the history of Chinese painting. Jin played a significant role in the development of art history education in China.[2]
Biography
[edit]Jin Weinuo was born in Beijing in 1924 and spent his early years in Ezhou, Hubei province. In 1942, he enrolled in the Department of Art Education at Wuchang College of Fine Arts (now Hubei Institute of Fine Arts), majoring in oil painting; he graduated in 1946. During the early years of the People's Republic of China, Jin worked as an editor for Hubei Daily and South-Central Workers' Daily. He transferred to the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1953, where he began his career in art history education.[3]
Academic Career
[edit]Jin started teaching at CAFA in 1953 and became a key figure in establishing its Department of Art History. He served as department head, professor, and doctoral advisor. In the 1950s, he was among the first scholars to conduct systematic research on Dunhuang murals and Buddhist art. He led field investigations to major Buddhist cave sites, including Dunhuang, Maijishan, Bingling Temple, and the Kizil Caves. These efforts contributed to the foundation of modern Dunhuang studies in China. In 1974, Jin was assigned to work at the Palace Museum in Beijing, where he conducted research on art connoisseurship and archaeology. After returning to CAFA, he founded and edited the journal Art Research (美术研究) and wrote on art historical methodology. In 1978, he was appointed chair of the Department of Art History and introduced a course titled "Overview of Classical Chinese Painting Texts." The lecture notes from this course were later developed into published works. He supervised numerous graduate students, many of whom became art historians.[3]
International Engagement and Recognition
[edit]Jin lectured internationally, including in the United States, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany, and Japan. In 1988, he was a Luce Foundation Scholar at the Center for East Asian Studies at Stanford University. In 1986, he was a visiting professor at Heidelberg University in Germany. In 1985, he was listed in Who's Who in the World (Cambridge), and his biography has been included in other international biographical references.[2][3] In 1980, Jin received the Blanchette Hooker Rockefeller Award in recognition of his work in Chinese Buddhist art and his efforts in international cultural exchange.[4][5]
