Print Edition
鈥淭he 30th Anniversary Commemorative Exhibition of Liu Haisu Art Museum鈥 is now on at the museum and will run through May 28.
The exhibition, a part of a series of events marking the 129th birth anniversary of Liu Haisu (1896-1994), includes 144 artworks and archival documents, including old masterpieces from the museum鈥檚 collection being shown to the public for the first time.
Liu, a pioneer of contemporary Chinese art, left an indelible mark on the history of modern Chinese art over his century-long life. He excelled in Chinese painting, oils and calligraphy and worked as an art instructor, art historian and social activist.
The master is revered as a trailblazer of China鈥檚 New Art Movement and a founding figure of modern art education in China.
On August 3, 1994, Liu donated his lifelong collection to the Liu Haisu Art Museum, which included over 300 pieces of calligraphy and paintings by renowned masters from various dynasties, as well as his own ink-wash paintings and calligraphic works.
The exhibition is divided into four chapters.

The second chapter, 鈥淛ourney Through Art,鈥 focuses on the museum鈥檚 role as a cultural platform.
The third chapter, 鈥淕azing Upon the Sea,鈥 offers an opportunity to see outstanding works from past editions of the Shanghai Youth Art Exhibition.
The fourth, 鈥淗armony of All Things,鈥 traces the museum鈥檚 30-year history.
