Asian painters were ‘othered’ in Paris a century ago. Now, the art world is taking note

A new exhibition at Singapore's National Gallery, "City of Others: Asian Artists in Paris, 1920s-1940s," highlights the experiences of Asian painters who worked in Paris during the interwar period. These artists, including Le Pho, Sanyu, Tsuguharu Foujita, Liu Kang, and Georgette Chen, faced marginalization and exoticized expectations from European critics, who dismissed their work as either not "Asian" enough or insufficiently Western. Despite these challenges, they produced significant bodies of work blending Eastern and Western traditions.
