Song of Spring: Pan Yu-Lin in Paris is sponsored exclusively by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, and represents the second instalment in Asia Society Hong Kong Center’s 20th Century Chinese Female Artist Series.
Belonging to the first generation of Chinese students to study fine arts in France, Pan Yu-Lin (aka Pan Yuliang, 1895-1977) was a pioneer in modernizing Chinese art with western painting at a time when it was rare for women to achieve independent careers as professional artists. Pan was distinguished for her individual style that synthesized eastern and western sensibilities as well as her academic contributions as one of the first female art professors in modern China. Unlike most of her compatriots who built their careers back home after overseas education, Pan came to live and develop her individual style in the competitive Parisian art world until her death.
This exhibition explores Pan’s unique trajectory and significance to modern Chinese art history by focusing on her second period in France, with over sixty works across four chambers dedicated to the themes of portraiture, nudes, cityscape and landscape, and dance figure painting, alongside archival materials and videos that delve into a comprehensive look at the art world of Pan Yu-Lin.

《春之歌 潘玉良在巴黎》為系列的第二個展覽,展覽承蒙香港賽馬會慈善信託基金的獨家贊助及捐助。
潘玉良(1895-1977)是第一代於法國留學的藝術系學生。雖然生於女性難以獨立成為專業藝術家的年代,但潘氏仍然以其別樹一幟的中西合璧的風格,成為用西方技巧現代化中國傳統藝術的先鋒。與此同時,作為現代中國其中一位最早的女性藝術系教授,她對學術的貢獻亦是不可多得。有別於同期留學西方後,返國開展藝術生涯的中國藝術家,她從1930年代直至逝世都馳騁於競爭激烈的巴黎藝術界。
是次展覽主要集中在潘氏第二度赴法時期的創作,從而探索她對中國藝術史的重要影響,四個展區將展出超過六十項作品,主題包括了肖像、 裸體、 城市與自然風光及舞蹈人像。展覽同時展出潘玉良珍貴的資料、影像,藉以深入地探索她的藝術世界。
