What can conservation and art history learn from each other?
Gallery curators Clarissa Chikiamco and Roger Nelson are joined by conservator Mar Cusso in an exchange of perspectives on two paintings: a detailed 1930s portrait of a formally attired Burmese gentleman by Saya Myit and a 1940s dream-like depiction of a hunter by Emiria Sunassa.
Both paintings, outstanding examples of the artists’ styles, required extensive conservation and restoration before they could be displayed. And the artists of these works- Saya Myit from Myanmar and Emiria Sunassa from Indonesia, are today recognised for their contributions to the development of modern art in Southeast Asia.
This session was recorded live in November 2019 at National Gallery Singapore.
