“Ink in Motion” press release

“INK In Motion”

Musee Cernuschi, Paris

21.10.2022 — 19.02.2023

Following on from the exhibition Painting Apart from the World, which invited visitors to explore China’s imperial legacy through the work of literati painters, the Cernuschi Museum extends this journey through time, focusing on 20th century Chinese painting.

For the first time, the museum, which has one of the largest collections of modern and contemporary Chinese paintings in Europe, is showing these masterpieces. The exhibition brings together more than seventy paintings created by thirty-four artists. The presentation of these fragile ink and paper treasures, which cannot be exposed to light for long periods, is a unique event.
