Old Brushes and Oriental Calligraphy

Starting October 10, 2025, the Guimet Museum will shed light on the creative breath of East Asia through works where ink and paper come together in eloquent silence. Here, the artist’s gesture does not seek faithful reproduction, but rather the capture of a moment of life. The suspended kakemonos reveal misty peaks and characters whose curves vibrate, witnesses to a philosophy where emptiness is as fundamental as the black stroke. This rare selection of ancient inks, preserved by subdued lighting, illustrates how the instrument becomes the natural extension of the soul. The journey is enriched by conferences and musical sessions, while workshops allow you to try your hand at this art of active meditation. A parenthesis of serenity to savor until April 5, 2026 in the uncluttered rooms of the institution.
