Pride of place, over time

The 13th National Exhibition of Fine Arts was shown at the National Art Museum of China from Dec 20 through Jan 14. Now, people can view all the entrant artworks by visiting a special website dedicated to the exhibition and the China Artists Association's WeChat account.

People can take a virtual tour of the national exhibition at the National Art Museum in Beijing, where award-winning works were on show. And they can also view the subdivision exhibitions previously held in different cities, including Guangzhou, Guangdong province, Jinan, Shandong province, and Chongqing.

As time moves on and people's ways of life evolve, the national exhibition increasingly includes works from more segments of art to meet audiences' changing tastes.

For example, sections on ceramics, lacquer ware, experimental art and animations have been added over the years.

One highlight that grabbed a lot of attention at the latest 13th National Exhibition of Fine Arts was works of design, which included graphic, industrial, costume, environmental and architectural creations. They were among the dozens of gold, silver and bronze medals.
