BALI ISLAND / CURATORIAL RESEARCH

# A painting and a photograph connect two journeys

A collaborative painting from 1947 and a Bali photograph from 1952 place Luo Ming within two often separately narrated histories.

Luo Ming · 1947 / 1952 · artistic networks

In Autumn Birds, made in 1947, Wang Lanruo painted the rocks, Luo Ming the birds, and Guan Shanyue completed and inscribed the work. Five years later, Luo appears in a photograph of artists gathered in Bali during the journey associated with Chen Wen Hsi, Liu Kang, Cheong Soo Pieng and Chen Chong Swee.

Hu Chao’s curatorial research brings the painting and the photograph into the same account. Luo’s presence connects artists travelling from China with artists based in Singapore, while their shared educational and regional ties reveal how such encounters became possible. The works and documents give a material basis for reading these journeys as parts of an overlapping network.

巴厘岛 / 策展研究

# 一幅合作画，一张合影：罗铭连接的两次行旅

1947年的合作画与1952年的巴厘岛合影，把常被分别叙述的两段艺术史联系起来。

罗铭 · 1947 / 1952 · 艺术网络

1947年的《秋雀图》由王兰若画石、罗铭画雀，关山月补成并题。五年后，罗铭又出现在巴厘岛的艺术家合影中，与陈文希、刘抗、钟泗滨、陈宗瑞等人的写生行旅发生交集。

胡超的策展研究将这幅合作画与这张历史照片放在同一条线索上。罗铭的参与，使从中国出发的艺术家与定居新加坡的艺术家进入一张相互交叠的网络；他们的美术教育背景、乡缘与区域交往，则帮助我们理解这些相遇怎样成为可能。作品与文献让跨区域联系获得了可以具体观看的依据。
