On August 9, the “Defining Nature” Realistic Romanticism Art Invitational Exhibition debuted at the Haipai Art Museum. In the hearts of most people, nature may be that tranquil place far from the hustle and bustle of the city, that untouched wilderness. However, when you step into the exhibition hall of the “Defining Nature” Realistic Romanticism Art Invitational Exhibition recently unveiled at the Haipai Art Museum in Shanghai, you will find that nature is far richer and deeper than we imagine. The exhibition brings together 121 artworks in various forms such as oil paintings, prints, acrylics, ink, and watercolors by 30 artists from three generations across the country. Among the exhibited works are the green mountains and rivers often seen in ancient Chinese poetry, flowers and birds with a sense of personality, ancient buildings that have witnessed the vicissitudes of life and the changing clouds in urban landscapes, the charm of street markets in memory, and the mysterious world where chaos first opened and heaven and earth merged. In the tone of realistic romanticism, each artist conveys their love and longing for nature through their unique artistic language and personalized expression. In the tone of realistic romanticism, each artist conveys their deep love and longing for nature through their unique artistic language and personalized expression, as well as the inspiration and charm naturally revealed in their creations. This is not only a praise of nature but also a profound belief and infinite reverence for culture and art. Haipai Art Museum

Exhibition Name: The Four Elders of Shanghai - The First Exhibition of the Series of Famous Modern and Contemporary Shanghai Artists Exhibition Venue: Hall 4, Shanghai Haipai Art Museum (No. 1536 Xinzhen Road, Minhang District, Shanghai) Public Transportation: Metro Line 10, Hangzhong Road Station Exhibition Dates: July 5, 2024 - October 13, 2024 Exhibition Tickets: Free, no reservation required Exhibition Introduction: Over 80 representative paintings by four famous Shanghai artists, Zhu Qizhan, Wang Yachen, Wang Geyi, and Qian Shoutie, will be exhibited, showcasing the beauty of the inheritance, diversity, and integration of Haipai culture. Zhu Qizhan, Wang Yachen, Wang Geyi, and Qian Shoutie, all born in the late 19th century, studied in Japan and developed unique painting styles. They either sought innovation or adhered to traditional methods, representing the second generation of Haipai painters after early masters like Ren Bonian, Zhao Zhiqian, and Wu Changshuo. In the mid-20th century, these four artists were active in the Shanghai art scene for a long time and were honored as the "Four Elders of Shanghai" for their outstanding artistic achievements and long-lasting careers. Foggy Words: I was captivated by the works of "Goldfish King" Wang Yachen among the "Four Elders of Shanghai" and became a fan. Wang's works, with fish swimming and water flowing, are lively, bright, and light, which I personally believe better reflect the spirit of Haipai.

Wang Yiting (1867-1938), a renowned calligrapher, painter, industrialist, and social activist active in Shanghai during modern Chinese history, was also a rare talent in Chinese art history who shone both in commerce and art. Wu Changshuo presented a poem to Wang Yiting: 'Heaven and earth are amazed at the birth of Yiting, with a brush that casts iron and ink as cold as rain.' Mr. Wang Yiting's painting themes were extensive, and he was the leader of the Shanghai School of painting following Wu Changshuo. Exhibition location: Shanghai School Art Gallery, 2nd floor, Room 2. Exhibition duration: Until July 28. 🤓 Free admission.

Tang Yunhui has integrated his contemplation of human destiny into his animal paintings, stepping beyond the confines of children's picture books and becoming an independent quasi-artwork. His works are warm, adorable, and healing, blending aesthetics, ideals, and taste in perfect harmony. Everything is spirited, and all that is seen is tenderness. The charm of watercolor aptly unfolds the clear and beautiful.

At the Shanghai Haipai Art Museum, I watched the 'Starting from Xu Beihong's Guizhou Tuzhi - New Experience of Chinese Fine Art Exhibition'. The pioneer of New Chinese Fine Art and the representative of Haipai painting and calligraphy, Xu Beihong, highly praised Guizhou Tuzhi. The main representative works of Xu Beihong and Fu Baoshi were completed on Guizhou Tuzhi. The 102 works of art exhibited in this exhibition are all created with Guizhou Tuzhi. The purpose is to use the intangible cultural heritage - Guizhou Tuzhi as a medium to explore new ways of innovation and personalized creation in Chinese fine art. 📍Exhibition address: Shanghai Haipai Art Museum (No. 1536, Xinzhen Road, Minhang District, Shanghai) Haipai Art Museum

The exhibition gathers 148 exquisite works created by 28 national artists, showing the beauty of Guizhou in the new era through field creation. These works, either magnificent and vigorous, or delicate and emotional, present an artistic atmosphere of diverse styles, forms, and scenes. With exquisite cultural expression forms and rich artistic language, they highlight the brilliant chapter of the great changes in the countryside in the new era, consolidate the power of Guizhou, shape the image of Guizhou, and vividly display the beauty of colorful Guizhou's humanities, nature, life, and development. 📍Exhibition address: 2nd Floor, No.2 Exhibition Hall, Shanghai Haipai Art Museum (No.1536, Xinzhen Road, Minhang District, Shanghai) Haipai Art Museum

🧚‍♀️Recently, Shanghai has been continuously rainy and cold, and I went to see a new exhibition on the weekend! I have been to the nearby Minbo and Baolong, but I have never been here!. 💯Low-key exhibition hall, this time attracted by its new year's 🆓 new exhibition, here is like walking in the European art palace!. 💛The entire space is arranged as a sculpture room in the 19th century, between the simple and elegant Roman columns, from neoclassicism to romanticism and realism, European classic sculpture masterpieces. 💚Classic 'Young Shepherd', 'Highland Mary', 'Prince and his pet dog Nero', 'Venus and Little Angel', 'Fairy Seat'...... 🎨Close up, I have to exclaim that every sculpture really has a soul, and the details show the master's exquisite skills.

The magnificent "Bronze Flower Pot" and the huge "Enamel Box" are also highlights of this exhibition. The magnificent "Bronze Flower Pot" refers to the large bronze basin decoration "Fairy Seat" completed by Belgian artist Pierre Alphonse Bergitte in 1883. This work is 240 cm high, and the octagonal base alone is 95 cm high. It is amazing. In terms of volume, shape, and craftsmanship, it can be regarded as an outstanding representative of the Belgian sculpture revival after 1880. The huge "Enamel Box" is from the hand of Charles Lebeck, the greatest enamel painter of the 19th century. The work is large in shape, highly original, excellent in decorative quality, and well-made. It is one of the outstanding witnesses of the revival of enamel painting technology in the 19th century. At the same time, the exhibition also presents oil paintings by famous painter Emmanuel Lotz, as well as home art pieces with complex structures and exquisite designs from Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries. Stepping into the hall, it is as if you have stepped into a European palace in the 19th century, and you will gain a beautiful immersive art viewing experience. Just like Pegasus in Greek mythology. The political art masters of the 19th century devoted all their energy, all their enthusiasm, and all their love to the statue. Give the still stone material and the first copper infinite vitality and unlimited possibilities, and freeze the love for art and life into "eternity". The theme of this exhibition, "Eternal Love", is a collective tribute to the golden age of Haipai art and the art masters of this period.

These images reflect the tremendous changes in Guizhou, the beautiful mountains, astronomical telescopes, and the images of the Miao people, all are great and worth seeing.

When I came to the Minhang Museum last year, I wanted to visit the Shanghai Art Museum. It was not open at that time. This time I saw that the exhibition hall was open to the public. After visiting the Minhang Museum, I just stopped by. The Shanghai Pai Art Museum has a total of two floors and currently has four free exhibitions. Jiangshan People's New Era Chinese Painting Academic Invitational Exhibition, the exhibition period is 9/8-10/8; Understanding and True Fangduo Yunxuan Painting Academy's first invitational special exhibition of contemporary calligraphy and painting masters , exhibition period 9/28-10/29; Mei Liudu Jiangchun Calligraphy and Painting Art Exhibition; exhibition period 4/28-12/30, more than Shanghai School, exhibition of the development history of modern Shanghai School calligraphy and painting, exhibition of outstanding works of modern Shanghai School famous artists, 2023/ 5/31-2024/5/30. The exhibition hall on the second floor is almost empty. The exhibition brings together art works by more than 30 domestic painters and artists, including calligraphy works, portraits, and landscape works. Friends who like to see exhibitions can drop by when visiting the Minhang Museum. Take a walk.

Exhibition Name: Mei Liudu Jiangchun - Cheng Shifa Calligraphy and Painting Art Exhibition Exhibition Location: Shanghai Haipai Art Museum No.4 Exhibition Hall (No.1536, Xinzhen Road, Minhang District, Shanghai) Public Transportation: Metro Line 10 Hangzhong Road Station Exhibition Date: April 28, 2023 - December 31 Exhibition Tickets: Free and no reservation required Exhibition Recommendation: Cheng Shifa (1921-2007), named Tong, a native of Fengjing Town, Jinshan District, Shanghai, is an important figure in modern Chinese painting. 'Taking the laws of ancient and modern China and foreign countries and transforming them', Cheng Shifa has a unique style in figures and flowers and birds, and has certain achievements in comic strips, New Year pictures, illustrations, etc. He is good at calligraphy, drawing power from Qin and Han wooden slips and Huai Su's cursive script, and is good at combining cursive, seal, and official scripts. Mist Language Wind Words: It's hard to have a long-term exhibition of Cheng Shifa's works. The Haipai Art Museum is quite large, and I was a bit tired when I finally watched this exhibition. I only looked at the landscape works I liked, and the other exhibits passed by in a hurry.

🌟In the 1st and 3rd exhibition halls of the Shanghai School Art Museum, dozens of classic European sculptures from Neoclassicism to Romanticism and Realism are breathtakingly beautiful. Here you can find masterpieces by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux, Giovanni Antonio Labus, Carl Johann Steinhäuser, Mathilde Moreau, and others. 🌟Today, I had a little bit of luck. When I entered the museum, I met an elegant lady explaining to a small group of people. I thought it was an internal event of a company or team, so I didn't follow them and just walked around by myself. When I arrived at the second museum, I met her again. Because her explanation was so fascinating, I followed her all the way. Later, I found out that I had accidentally met the owner of these exhibits today, Ms. Wu, who is known as the 'Chinese Legendary Woman' in the French collection world. Today, she was sharing with the public personally. I really wish I could turn back time and follow her from the moment I stepped into the museum to listen to the culture and stories behind these artworks. 🌟There are many interesting facts. There are the world's largest vase, the largest enamel box, and the most beautiful picture frame. The prince's pet dog is wearing a family emblem pendant that was awarded for this work. There are signatures of celebrities such as Alexandre Dumas on the antique cabinets of the two major families. Guess where they are. The antique cabinet that was saved from a big fire can be opened by pressing a secret compartment. The animal's tongue is the handle, and its sister cabinet is in the Louvre. Ms. Wu also personally demonstrated a secret compartment mechanism of an antique cabinet to everyone. The back of the drawer that was pulled out is a golden family emblem, inside which is a small golden goddess of wisdom. A special lock can make the goddess come out and turn around to reveal the secret compartment behind. Ms. Wu let everyone guess what was inside, can you guess it?～～ 🌟From the lighting to the exhibition layout, everything is extremely meticulous. It is no less than several high-quality overseas art treasure exhibitions in Shanghai this year that are not cheap, but this exhibition is free. The art museum and the curator really make the exhibition perfectly echo the theme. It is a feast of sentiment and love. At the end of the exhibition explanation, Ms. Wu also said that she hopes to bring high-quality enjoyment to the Chinese people. Without going abroad, you can truly appreciate the exhibits in world-class museums, broaden the horizons of children who love painting, get close to the masters, and constantly improve themselves. The audience who kept gathering on the spot gave a warm applause, which was very touching. 🌟The organizer insists on not using glass covers in order to give everyone a better viewing experience, only raising the base to increase the viewing distance. So if you bring children to visit, you must take good care of your young children, quietly appreciate and cherish these masterpieces. 🌟The works of the sculptor Rodin will be exhibited in February, and now they should be in the Shanghai Museum. ❤️'Eternal Love' 19th Century European Classic Art Exhibition Exhibition Date: 2024.1.16-2024.4.7 Exhibition Venue: 1st and 3rd Exhibition Halls on the first floor of Shanghai School Art Museum Exhibition Address: No. 1536 Xinzhen Road, Minhang District, Shanghai

Exhibition Name: "Eternal Love" 19th Century European Classic Art Exhibition Exhibition Date: January 16, 2024 - April 7, 2024, 9:30 - 16:30 (Entry stops at 16:00, closed on Mondays) Timed explanation: Tuesday to Friday 10:00, 14:00 Exhibition Location: 1st Floor, No.1 and No.3 Exhibition Hall, Shanghai Haipai Art Museum Address: No.1536 Xinzhen Road, Minhang District, Shanghai The annual exhibition of the Haipai Museum is here. It is said that for this exhibition, the Haipai Art Museum has specially cooperated with the Rodin Art Center (China Pavilion) to select 50 pieces of 19th-century European classic sculptures, paintings, and furniture artworks to meet the audience, leading the audience into the 19th-century European classic art. The exquisite sculptures in the exhibition hall, the beautiful oil paintings, and the ingeniously designed homes all bring an immersive art experience. After watching the exhibition, don't forget to go to the Minhang Museum next door to see the Haihunhou Exhibition. You can enjoy two heavy free exhibitions in one day. It has to be said that the art atmosphere in Minhang District is also great.

After seeing the Haihunhou at the Minbo, I happened to encounter the first day of the new exhibition at the neighboring Haipai Art Museum. I could see two high-quality exhibitions for free in one afternoon, full of value. Exhibition time: 1.9-1.27 Exhibition: Starting from Xu Beihong's Guizhou Tuzhi - New Experience of Chinese Fine Art Exhibition The paper-based art exhibition sounds quite innovative. I quickly googled what Guizhou Tuzhi is, and it turns out that it's so sophisticated. It is said that after Xu Beihong discovered Guizhou Tuzhi, 99 out of 100 horses he painted were from Guizhou Tuzhi. Master Xu praised Guizhou Tuzhi for its strong ink absorption, toughness, delicate white color, and no wrinkles when folded. The painting and the paper complement each other. This seemingly ordinary paper requires 16 production processes and two months to complete. The Tuzhi, which has long been a Guizhou intangible cultural heritage, continues to evolve and innovate, deriving more than 10 different categories for painting and calligraphy. Now, both ink and wash and oil ink have their own dedicated types, and this ancient technique continues to get better and better on the path of inheritance. The 102 Guizhou Tuzhi works on display this time are rich in subject matter, and as a novice, I deeply felt the charm of different artists' styles. The concurrent "Mountain Village Transformation - The Practice of Guizhou Modernization by Chinese Artists" exhibition, through 148 sketching works, shows the unique beauty of Guizhou's landscape and humanities. After watching it, I immediately wanted to take a tour of Guizhou. tips: Opening hours: 9:30-16:30 (stop admission at 16:00), closed on Monday, no reservation required.

The 'Youth Art Starting Point - 2023 Shanghai Youth Art Fair Exhibition' is a stage for young artists to PK.
