Xu Beihong (1895-1953) established prominence in modern Chinese art history for incorporating the academic traditions of Europe with the ink-and-wash painting. The exhibition Master and His Masters goes back to the origin of Xu's artistic career when he studied at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-arts (the National School of Fine Arts in Paris). His iconic paintings are displayed with works of his mentors at the college. The juxtaposition celebrates an important period of cultural communications between China and France in the early 20th century.
