Exhibition inspired by Li Keran

The National Art Museum of China is presenting the first exhibition from the Li Keran Academy of Painting. Li Keran (1907-89) was a giant of modern Chinese art history, who combined traditional Chinese ink painting with Western style and painting techniques. In 2012, art educator, sculptor and Li's wife Zou Peizhu initiated the founding of Li Keran Academy of Painting, which boasts 100 renowned Chinese artists as its council members and researchers. The exhibition is composed of three parts. The first part features 60 pieces of Li's representative works. The second part examines the art of the council members and researchers of the academy. And the third part invites 100 Chinese landscape artists to present their new works.
