Guided tour : "Painting and ceramics in dialogue" - Musée Cernuschi, Musée des arts de l’Asie de la Ville de Paris

On the occasion of the Printemps Asiatique, the Musée Cernuschi invites you to a two-part presentation of an exhibition based on the Harley Hall Preston collection, bequeathed to the museum in 2018, and completed by several recent acquisitions. Mael Bellec, the museum's curator, will present this exhibition, which includes ancient and modern ceramics as well as 20th-century Japanese and Chinese paintings, from an historical and artistic perspective. Camille Schmitt, a specialist in the restoration of Far Eastern paintings and author of a book on the conservation and restoration of painted scrolls under the Ming period, will discuss the materiality of the paintings on display, evoking the techniques used and the way the works were mounted and conserved.
