Artistic lineage
Lineage in Brushstrokes, an exhibition at the Peon Art Museum Chongqing, shows the role of art as a force of unity in six individual families. The exhibition, until July 18, displays more than 80 paintings, sculptures and letters by family members covering four generations who are all devoted to art creation and education. Featured families include those of Xu Beihong, a prominent figure of 20th-century Chinese art, and his contemporaries, Li Kuchan, a master of classical Chinese painting, and Wang Qi, a print-making artist. The families of Xu's students Wei Jiangfan and Yang Xianrang, and the family of Yan Xinyuan, a student of Yang, are also featured. All together, the works showcase the scope of modern Chinese art and reflect cultural movements in the country throughout the decades.
