City of Others: Asian Artists in Paris, 1920s–1940s is a groundbreaking exhibition that compares the experiences of Asian artists in Paris in a lively and dynamic time period. It features works by major Asian artists like Foujita Tsuguharu, Georgette Chen, Le Pho, Liu Kang, Xu Beihong, and Sanyu alongside lesser-known and hidden figures. As one of many migrant groups in Paris in this dynamic period, these artists encountered cultural “others” and were perceived as “others” themselves, leading to exchanges of aesthetics and ideas between cultures.
Presenting different zones of the art world of Paris in the 1920s–1940s, the exhibition explores how artists lived, worked and exhibited. Audiences are invited to delve into a variety of materials: more than 150 artworks, including painting, sculpture, lacquer, decorative arts, and rare archival records.
