The Cafa Art Museum is holding Frozen Passion, a retrospective show for veteran oil painter and art educator Li Zongjin (1916-77).
Born to a scholar's family and trained in the early 1930s under the guidance of master painters such as Yan Wenliang, Li taught at Tsinghua University, Central Academy of Fine Arts, and Beijing Film Academy until 1975.
"Li was so diligent an artist that he was revising his signature work - Taking the Luding Bridge by Force even during his last days, in 1977," recalled Xu Bing, Li's student and vice-president of Central Academy of Fine Arts.
10 am-5 pm, until Sept 8. 8 Huajiadi Nanjie, Chaoyang district. 010-6477-1575
