Buying artworks on the theme of "Asia"
Asia can be synonymous with distant and exotic lands. Sometimes considered as the most mysterious continent with its grounded cultures, Asia has largely inspired many orientalist painters in their artistic compositions. With many ancient cultures, from India to Japan, from China to the Philippines, Asia in painting offers us through its architecture, its languages, its clothing styles and its customs a real summary of exoticism. Geishas taking a bath, samurai in combat, pashas in their harems, fakirs on a board of nails, Buddhist monks in meditation, so many different facets that Asian culture offers us. Alberto Pasini, Eugène Delacroix, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres are famous painters who have depicted Asia in the most beautiful ways.

Origins and History
Contemporary Asian paintings have a rich history and diverse origins. Their origins can be traced back to the traditional styles of Chinese and Japanese painting, which originated over 2,000 years ago. During the 20th century, contemporary Asian paintings began to incorporate Western techniques and styles, resulting in a fusion of traditional and modern elements. This led to the emergence of several important movements, such as the Tokyo School, which arose in Japan in the 1950s and 1960s. Other important periods in the history of contemporary Asian paintings include the Chinese Cultural Revolution, which had a profound impact on Chinese art in the 1960s and 1970s, and the rise of Southeast Asian art in the 1980s and 1990s.
