“These paintings illustrate how various subjects and techniques were inherited, interpreted, and refashioned,” says Jenna Erwin, Curatorial Assistant, Chinese Art. “In a fast-growing society where traditional East Asian and newly introduced transnational influences interacted with each other, modern Chinese art as we know it began to thrive and bloom, with artists turning to ink to express themselves, reshape old ideas, and seek new identities.”
