Description
We cordially invite you to the exhibition opening on Saturday, April 9, 2016.
Pan Gongkai’s project traces the development of Chinese modernism from the period of the First Opium War (1839–1842) to 1999. Pan Gongkai was the President of the Central Chinese Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) in Beijing until 2014. In this project, he has assembled an illustrated history of Chinese modern art in more than 10,000 photographs, plus commentary, taking art as a case study for the development of Chinese society as a whole. This history presents the Chinese investigation of Western modernism, as well as the different lineages within Chinese art, including strains of traditionalism, syncretism, Occidentalism, and populism.
