"Jiangnan" always evokes not only an association with the areas lying south of the Yangtze River, but also a multitude of descriptions in ancient literary works, which gives the word a rich denotation beyond a mere geographic reality. It is the representation of the beautiful spiritual world of traditional Chinese literati, a Utopia bringing peace to the soul, with a tint of melancholy and sorrow. The present exhibition is an attempt to determine how the aesthetic nature of Jiangnan is developing in the visual arts, and where the poetic-cultural traditions intersect with the sociogeographic reality of Jiangnan. A brief history of RCM Art Museum is provided in the catalogue.



「江南」既代表了長江以南的地區,更讓人憶起無數詩詞歌賦中的妙語佳句,因此,其意境遠遠超越了它原先代表的地理概念。「江南」一詞散發着傳統文人的優雅意趣,亦象徵了一種寧謐清淡的思想境界,隱含着一絲淡淡的無奈與悽惋。是次展覽試圖用視覺方式來為「江南」的美學涵義定位,藉以釐定詩意的文化傳承如何與江南的社會現實交叠並置。本圖錄亦概述了南視覺美術館的發展史。
