The National Museum of Krakow is proud to host the exhibition Transitions: Highlights of the landscape collection of the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts. The exhibition is the first presentation of works in Poland by some of Taiwan's leading landscape painters of the 20th and 21st centuries. The stunning pieces offer a new view of nature and everyday surroundings in a landscape quite foreign for most Poles. The Taiwanese painters use modern means to represent their environment, while at the same time respecting techniques and traditions established many centuries ago. The paintings on display were created with a combinations of ink painting, watercolours, as well as traditional grounds such as paper and silk. One of the highlights of the exhibition is a fifteen-meter-long painting on paper in the vein of horizontal scrolls.
The collection will be shown between July 27th and September 23rd 2007 at the National Museum's main building on al. 3 Maja 1, but perhaps one of the most interesting features of the exhibition will be the lectures and workshops that will take place in conjunction with it.
