Guided Art Tour - Pablo Picasso: Paintings in Glass
Guided Art Tour “Pablo Picasso: Paintings in Glass” with second tour to view “Embracing Landscapes: The Artistic Journey of Professor Jao Tsung-i” partnering with University Museum and Art Gallery, The University of Hong Kong (UMAG) and co-organizing with Swiss Association in Hong Kong & the Swiss Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong to provide an exclusive guided art tour.
Specialists from UMAG will guide you through the 2 private guided art tours.
Pablo Picasso: Paintings in Glass, an unprecedented display of works by the world-famous twentieth-century painter, supported by the French May Arts Festival and Hongkong Land. In the mid-1950s, the workshops of Roger Malherbe-Navarre expanded on the light boxes of French painter Jean Crotti by layering pieces of glass into pictorial depictions (gemmail, French for 'enamel gem') of several of Picasso's paintings.
Embracing Landscapes: The Artistic Journey of Professor Jao Tsung-i, has been organised to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Petite Ecole. The exhibition displays twenty paintings and calligraphic works related to Professor Jao's travels since the 1960s, as well as fifty vintage photos commemorating his friendship with artists, art historians and connoisseurs during the five decades of his distinguished career. Amidst contemporary painters, few individuals have explored the continents of Europe, Asia, Africa, America and Australia as extensively as Professor Jao.
