Special Exhibition Hall
This exhibition showcases works by the modern Chinese painters Wu Changshi (1844-1927), Qi Baishi (1864-1957), Gao Jianfu (1879-1951), and Xu Beihong (1895-1953), as part of the Suma Collection, which was donated to the Kyoto National Museum in recent years. The exhibition also explores the diverse developments made in Chinese paintings from this period. The impact of modern material civilization from the West shook traditional China and incited revolution. Chen Shizeng (1876-1923), Gao Jianfu, Xu Beihong, and others who became innovative leaders of the modern Chinese painting circles were deeply connected to Japan, and the role that Japan played in modernizing Chinese painting was not insignificant. This exhibition also presents a glimpse into the cultural exchanges that went on between China and Japan in the modern era.
