Academy artists
When the China National Academy of Painting was established more than four decades ago, its first president, prominent artist Li Keran (1907-89), viewed one of the institution's missions as being able to discover and cultivate younger-generation artists and to build a launchpad for them. This has become essential to the academy's work since then. Exhibitions are mounted regularly to introduce to the public the recent creations of resident painters in their youth and middle ages. Harmony Between Nature and Human, an exhibition on at the China National Academy of Painting through to Friday, shows artworks of the institution's 23 painters and sculptors, reflecting some new dimensions of artistic exploration and social development.
9 am-5 pm, daily. 54 Xisanhuan Bei Road, Haidian district, Beijing.010-6841-2606.
