Nearly 600 freehand artworks from the National Art Museum of China pay tribute t

A few days ago, the National Freehand Painting Exhibition, which is sponsored by the National Art Museum of China, met the audience.

 

This exhibition is based on the freehand spirit that runs through the history of Chinese art. It gathers art works from the collection of the National Art Museum of China, invited creations, and collected from across the country. It showcases nearly 600 works from ancient art masters to contemporary young artists, including Chinese painting, oil painting, printmaking, sculpture, watercolor, installation, new media, and other art categories.

 

The exhibition consists of three parts: the first part is the collection of classics, showcasing representative collections from ancient masters such as Ba Da Shan Ren, Shi Tao, and Wu Changshuo to contemporary artists at the National Art Museum of China, paying tribute to the classics and interpreting the development and evolution of freehand brushwork spirit; The second part is a special invitation for works, inviting artists who are currently active in the art world to create new works, including installations, new media, and other works, to expand the boundaries of freehand brushwork concepts; The third part selects works collected nationwide to showcase the inheritance and innovation of freehand brushwork spirit in current artistic creation.

 

Pan Yikui, the director of the National Art Museum of China, stated that the spirit of freehand brushwork is one of the core languages of Chinese aesthetics. As a national art hall, the National Art Museum of China is not only an important institution for collecting, displaying, and researching freehand art, but also a guardian, interpreter, and promoter of this Chinese aesthetic spirit.

 

On the opening day, an academic seminar was held on "Caring for and Paying homage to Classics - National Freehand brushwork Art Exhibition" to further sort out the aesthetic connotation of freehand brushwork spirit and explore the spiritual value and aesthetic character of contemporary art creation.
