Revolutionary spirit

The first part of the show gathers woodblock prints made in Yan'an in which one will see how the artists integrated woodblock techniques with folk art aesthetics in order to bring out the revolutionary spirit. The second part shows paintings made after the artists joined the then newly established Beijing Fine Art Academy in the 1950s. The exhibition runs through April 24.
