相忘於江湖：李德×熊秉明

李德與熊秉明，是二十世紀極具代表性的文人藝術家。分別出生於1921、1922年，兩人同屬戰亂的一代，卻因人生選擇而走向不同的藝術旅程。李德於1948年來台，從此深耕於台灣，從事創作與教學，尤其在美術教育方面影響深遠；熊秉明於1947年公費赴法留學，自此長居巴黎，成為享譽國際的旅法華人藝術家。兩人皆具深厚的文學與哲學素養，並在藝術實踐上不斷探索東西方文化的交融與突破。本次展覽以「相忘於江湖」為題，取意於莊子典故，象徵他們雖身處不同文化脈絡，卻在藝術的世界中相互映照、共鳴。

Read Lee and Hsiung Ping-ming are among the most representative literati artists of the 20th century. Born in 1921 and 1922, respectively, they emerged from a generation affected by war, yet their artistic paths diverged due to the life choices they made. Lee relocated to Taiwan in 1948, where he established deep roots as an artist and educator, significantly influencing the landscape of art education in Taiwan. In contrast, Hsiung received a government scholarship to study in France in 1947 and permanently settled in Paris, becoming a celebrated French-based Chinese artist who achieved international recognition. Both artists possessed a strong foundation in literature and philosophy, continually exploring the integration and breakthroughs between Eastern and Western cultures in their artistic practices. This exhibition, titled Diverged Paths, Shared Resonance, draws inspiration from a story in Zhuangzi, symbolizing how both artists’ works, though shaped by different cultural contexts, resonate and reflect one another within the art world.
