Tradition to Contemporary ― Ink Painting and Artistic Development in 20th-century China

The University Museum and Art Gallery (UMAG) of the University of Hong Kong presents the Chinese painting exhibition Tradition to Contemporary: Ink Painting and Artistic Development in 20th-century China. The exhibition is curated from artworks within the museum’s permanent collection. Works trace the evolution of ink painting in Hong Kong, and include many of the masters that have helped to build the city’s art scene and museum collections. The exhibition and its associated catalogue offers audiences a broad overview of the provenance and aesthetic quality of individual works, and the cultural interactions among twentieth-century Chinese artists, curators, collectors and scholars in Hong Kong, mainland China and abroad. 香港大學美術博物館展出中國繪畫展覽《鑑古賞今：二十世紀中國的水墨與藝術發展》。是次展覽展示博物館的永久館藏。作品追溯了香港本土水墨畫的演變，當中包括多位協助建立起城市藝術風采和博物館藏品的大師。是次展覽和出版的圖錄讓觀眾綜覽個別繪畫作品的來源和美學特質，並香港、中國內地及海外的二十世紀中國藝術家、策展人、收藏家及學者之間的文化交流。
