[2025 Shanghai Attraction] Travel Guide for Shanghai Art Museum (Updated May)

🌈2023 Shanghai Sculpture and New Media Art Exhibition 📆2023.7.8～8.6 The exhibition includes 60 sculptures and 20 new media experimental art works. Personally, I think the sculptures are more interesting than the new media. When I entered the exhibition hall, I thought I had gone to the Oil Painting and Sculpture Institute because there were statues of Yuan Kan, middle-aged uncles similar to Lin Sen's works, and large wood sculptures. #ShanghaiExhibition #Minhang #Sculptures #Exhibition #ArtExhibition #MagicCity #GoodDestinationInTheHotSummer

The artist Shi Hu's heavy-color paintings on canvas and paper from the last ten years are currently on display in Halls 1 and 3 on the first floor of the Shanghai Museum of Art. In the last 10 years of his life, contemporary artist Shi Hu faded out of the public eye and retreated to a Hakka village in Heyuan, Lingnan. In large-scale paintings, he is good at using the deconstruction and reconstructing of human and animal images to establish his understanding of Chinese history, society, and beliefs, and gives the viewer a strong visual impact with brilliant overlapping colors and intricate compositions. The exhibition will run until March 16 and is free to visit without reservation.

Mr. Jin Shangyi is a leading figure in China's art world, combining oil painting creation, art education, academic research, and organizational leadership. His artistic achievements are outstanding and have a profound impact. Mr. Jin's artistic and academic career is entirely the same age as the Republic. His artistic practice and research have deeply participated in the historical process of cultural construction in New China. Studying Mr. Jin's sketch achievements has a significant meaning for the present. In this exhibition, we can clearly see that Mr. Jin's artistic path started with realistic painting. The basic knowledge of painting was personally taught by Soviet expert Maximov. These two points effectively laid the foundation for his painting. Later, he deeply explored the characteristics of Eastern and Western painting languages and cultural spirits, and integrated and deeply explored them. With a modern perspective and the essence of classical painting, he focused on reality, using concise and summarized painting language, deeply combining research and expressiveness, and created contemporary Chinese oil paintings that highlight the modeling characteristics of oil painting and Eastern aesthetics.

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.

🌈Eternal Love｜19th Century European Classic Art Exhibition 📅January 16 - April 7, 2024 Pure white, meticulously carved. Timeless, eternal art. The Shanghai Art Museum's opening exhibition of the year selects 50 classic European sculptures, paintings, and furniture artworks from the 19th century, presenting masterpieces by art masters such as Auguste Rodin, Giovanni Antonio Labus, Karl Johan Steinhauser, Mathilde Moreau, and Jean-Baptiste Capo. If you can only choose one of the three exhibitions in Minhang Xinzhen Road, "Eternal Love" is definitely the first choice. The exhibits are precious and the on-site layout is exquisite, comparable to municipal museums. The flow of people is much less than the Minhang Museum next door, and the exhibition experience is better. #ShanghaiExhibition #FreeExhibition

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.
