Exhibition: L’Empire de l’encre, calligraphies contemporaines japonaises


Until January 11th 2016, the musée Guimet hosts the new Mainichi Shodokai foundation’s works of Japanese contemporary calligraphy. “The Empire of ink” invites visitors to admire the works of European artists who have been affected by this art, modelled on Belgian painter Henri Michaux (1899-1984) and on Canadian-British painter Brion Gysin (1916-1986). Their paintings are thus confronted with those of the new creation. During the exhibition’s duration, workshops of calligraphy, destined for all publics, are proposed by Mainichi Shodokai’s masters of calligraphy. This is the unique opportunity to learn a little more about this particular poetic art, nearby the Green Hotels Paris, the Eiffel Trocadéro and the Gavarni, in the 16th district of Paris.

“L’Empire de l’encre, calligraphies contemporaines japonaises” exhibition (“The Empire of ink, contemporary Japanese calligraphies”), from October 21st 2015 to January 11th 2016.
Open daily except on Tuesday, from 10am to 6pm.
Full rate: €9.50 / Concession (18-25 years): €7 / Free for underage.
