This exhibition offers a comprehensive view of representative works of modern and contemporary ink and color paintings from the collections of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea (MMCA), and the National Museum of China (NAMOC), China’s sole state-run art institution. The first ever to be co-curated by Korea and China, this exhibition narrates the history of East Asian painting from an independent view, departing from the European and American perspectives that have long dominated the discourse. Examining how ink and color paintings—the very foundation of East Asian art—have inherited and contemporized tradition since modern times, this exhibition highlights various aspects of the development and characteristics of East Asian ink and color paintings ranging from traditional portraits, landscapes, and flower-and-bird paintings to contemporary figurative and non-figurative paintings. Demonstrating how this genre employing common media manifests in distinct aesthetics and identities shaped by the unique cultures and sensibilities of Korea and China, this exhibition provides an opportunity to experience the beauty in each East Asian country’s approach to ink and color. Accompanied by an associated workshop and an international academic conference, this cultural and artistic exchange between Korea and China is expected to strengthen the ties between the two countries, especially in light of current political tensions.
