Join a LACMA docent for a tour of Line, Form, Qi: Calligraphic Art from the Fondation INK Collection.

An examination of the innovations in calligraphic art, Line, Form, Qi highlights experimental works of modern and contemporary calligraphic art made by artists including Fung Ming Chip, Gu Wenda, Inoue Yūichi, Lee In, Henri Michaux, Nguyễn Quang Thắng, Qiu Zhijie, Tong Yangtze, Wang Dongling, Wei Ligang, and Xu Bing. Works on view reveal the evolution of the pictograph, explorations of the relationship between content and form, the development of new scripts, and the abstraction of the written word. Accompanied by a scholarly exhibition catalogue, Line, Form, Qi is the second in a series of exhibitions of works from the Fondation INK Collection, a 400-piece collection of contemporary art in the spirit of ink that was promised to LACMA in 2018.
