He Xiangning: Ink & Intent

This bilingual catalogue accompanies the exhibition He Xiangning: Ink & Intent, co-curated by the He Xiangning Art Museum and National Gallery Singapore. Bringing together He Xiangning’s artworks and archival materials, the exhibition traces her artistic journey from her involvement in revolutionary activities and experiences of wartime displacement to the stable period of her later life. The essays explore shifts in artistic traditions and political contexts, considering how He Xiangning mobilised artistic practices and social networks to support public causes, including fundraising across Southeast Asia. This catalogue draws on research into the He Xiangning Art Museum’s collection and archival holdings, as well as works from National Gallery Singapore’s collection. The exhibition marks the first thematic presentation of He Xiangning’s works in Southeast Asia.
