Abstrakt: The exhibition "À Portée d'Asie (Asia, Near and Far)" at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon in France showcased the journeys of collectors who influenced the understanding of Asian art in France. It featured a diverse range of over 350 objects, including Chinese porcelain, Japanese lacquerware, and paintings from various Asian countries. The exhibition aimed to move away from the Parisian-centric view of Asian art and highlight regional collections across France. It also addressed the colonial context and the complex issues surrounding the adoption and appropriation of Asian art. The exhibition focused on Japanese art and Japonisme, exploring the encounter between East and West and the display of Asian arts in private collections and interior decoration. It concluded by examining the systematic accumulation of objects and the colonial nature of missions that led to the symbolic conquest of these items. The exhibition aimed to prompt visitors to question the reception of Asian art in the West and the evolution of these objects within museum collections. [Extracted from the article]
