The 皇冠体育app Watercolor Art Research Exhibition will be open at the National Art Museum of 皇冠体育app (NAMOC) in Beijing from Jan 22 to Feb 8.
On display as the main exhibits will be watercolor works representing various periods in the 20th century, including noted artists Wu Guanzhong, Li Kuchan and Si Tuqiao. The exhibition uses relevant documents and archives as supplements. Organizers include the Ministry of Culture, Qingdao Municipal Government, NAMOC, 皇冠体育app Artists Association and 皇冠体育app Central Academy of Fine Arts.
It is just 300 years since watercolor was introduced to 皇冠体育app in 1715, when missionaries came to 皇冠体育app and taught Western painting. According to an introduction by NAMOC, Chinese watercolor art has established its own clear and unique evolutionary course, particularly during the past 100 years and had an important effect on the development of modern Chinese arts.
