Borderland harmony
At the National Art Museum of China, in Beijing, a large number of classic works are displayed, depicting the beautiful landscapes and diverse cultures and folklores of Xinjiang Uygur and Xizang autonomous regions, made by leading figures of modern Chinese art.
Harmony on the Borderland: Unity Among Ethnic Groups, an ongoing exhibition at the NAMOC, gathers these works, primarily in the museum's collection, encompassing Chinese paintings, oil works, prints and sculptures. It will continue till July 14.
Many of them have been rotated for display in Beijing and other cities, but still draw an audience every time they are out for public viewing, such as Presenting Hada by Ye Qianyu, who is known for producing sketchy strokes to render a rhythmic sense to his subjects, and The Dzongyab Lukhang Park of Lhasa, a work of Wu Guanzhong that shows a serene scene of the park behind the Potala Palace.
9 am-5 pm, closed on Mondays. 1 Wusi Dajie, Dongcheng district, Beijing. 010-6400-1476.
