Masterpieces of Landscape Painting from the Forbidden City @ the Honolulu Academy of Arts

After more than a year of planning and organizing with the Palace Museum in Beijing, the Honolulu Academy of Arts presents the collaborative exhibition Masterpieces of Landscape Painting from the Forbidden City. The exhibition includes 56 paintings from the Palace Museum, which has the largest collection of Chinese paintings in the world, and 19 paintings from the renowned collection of the Honolulu Academy of Arts. Together, these works reveal a painting revolution that happened in China during the 13th and 14th centuries, and forever changed the course of the arts, with its influence still felt today. The landmark exhibition is inspired by the goal of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Leaders Summit (APEC), being held concurrently in Honolulu Nov. 8-13, to encourage cooperation among the nations of the Pacific region. This art-world example of Asian-Pacific cooperation is co-curated by Dr. Shawn Eichman, Curator of Asian Art at the Academy, and Drs. Li Shi and Fu Dongguang from the Paintings and Calligraphy Department of the Palace Museum, part of what is popularly known as the Forbidden City.
