New rotations

Following positive feedback from visitors, the Art Museum of the Central Academy of Fine Arts recently rotated the paintings on show at the long-term exhibition Ancient Chinese Art. The display highlights the diversity of classical Chinese painting and calligraphy from the museum's collection, covering the three major genres: landscape, flower-and-bird and figure paintings. It also showcases works by influential artists who helped elevate Chinese art to new heights.

Among the newly added works is Washing the White Elephant by Wu Bin, a Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) painter. The subject, rich in Buddhist symbolism, reflects meditation and the pursuit of inner peace — a theme favored by many classical artists. Also on view is a four-meter-long hand-scroll landscape by Ming artist Zhang Fu, depicting a richly detailed winter scene on silk. Visitors can also admire pieces by Wang Shimin and Wang Jian, two of the celebrated Four Painters surnamed Wang of the early Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).

9:30 am-5:30 pm, closed on Mondays. 8 Huajiadi Nan Jie, Chaoyang district, Beijing. 010-6477-1575.
