What's on

Tribute to master

Xu Beihong, a preeminent figure of 20th-century Chinese art, was known for rendering a heroic, unyielding spirit to his subjects. The human figures under his brush, whether a mythological character, an ancient philosopher or a rural woman, often sparkle with courage and wisdom. His depictions of other lives, such as roosters crowing in rain, flying birds embracing fierce winds and wounded lions, have also become art symbols. The Peon Art Museum Chongqing is holding a show of its 22 classic paintings and drawings, in tribute to Xu's work depicting people and nature. The exhibition ends on Feb 18.

10-12 am, 1-4:30 pm, closed on Mondays. 70 Panxi Road, Jiangbei district, Chongqing.
