Original strokes Painting a New Chapter, a long-term exhibition that recently opened at the National Museum of China, brings together the work of 15 painters. On display are the three main genres of Chinese ink painting — flower-and-bird, mountain-and-water, and figurative — which have been painted for centuries, but which have also integrated techniques from foreign art. His painting depicts Qi Baishi observing a clutch of chickens, a recurring motif the late modern ink master revisited on numerous occasions, and hints at Qi's humble, rural background and lifelong pursuit of simplicity in art. Dream of Jiangnan Ancient China's wenfang, or scholar's study, was not just a place intellectuals read, wrote, painted or participated in other cultural activities, it was also a haven for enjoying solitude, where they could quiet inner worries, cultivate their minds and rise to a higher spiritual realm. The three salons showcase the beauty of the cultured lives led by the ancient literati, and events held during the exhibition will allow visitors to sample tea, try to play the guqin, make calligraphy rubbings and learn about the types of incense popular in the past.
