What's on
Profiling Xinjiang It is not uncommon to find people posting about their journeys to different parts of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region these days on social media platforms. Painting Xinjiang, an ongoing exhibition at the Art Museum of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, shines a spotlight on depictions of Xinjiang by different generations of 20th century Chinese artists. Painterly life Ding Tianque was part of the second generation of students to be trained at the China Academy of Art after it was founded in 1928. Together with peers like Wu Guanzhong and Zao Wou-ki, Ding followed in the footsteps of first-generation Chinese artists living and working in Europe, who introduced them to a broader and deeper perspective of art, through the dramatic landscapes of the 20th century. Painting Fragments, a retrospective of Ding's life and work, examines the efforts of an artist and educator to live up to his dream of art, as well as the changes to the cultural scene in the second half of the 20th century.
