Charles Lachman specializes in art theory and the history of Buddhist art, especially in China, though his research and teaching occasionally extend to India, Japan, and Korea as well. His publications include Evaluations of Sung Dynasty Painters of Renown (E.J. Brill, 1990), and various articles which have appeared in Artibus Asiae, Art Bulletin, Asia Major, Korean Culture, Clues, and elsewhere; he is currently working on a book concerning problems of interpreting Chan Buddhist painting. Professor Lachman is also a consulting curator at the UO Museum of Art, where he has overseen the reinstallation of the Asian galleries and organized numerous exhibitions.
