> ART EXHIBITION
> The Reformer's Brush: Modernity and Traditional Media in China
> The year 2011 marks the hundredth anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution,
> which saw the abdication of the six-year-old last emperor of the Qing
> Dynasty and led ultimately to the founding of the Republic of China. This
> exhibition, which features painting and calligraphy from late nineteenth
> and early twentieth-century China in the collections of Dr. Ernest and
> Letah Lee and Dr. Chin-tang Lo, examines the relationship between
> tradition and modernity in this transitional period. Many of the men at
> the center of the debates over modernization also cultivated the
> traditional practices of painting and calligraphy in ways that reflected
> or were engaged with the very questions of modernization and change that
> were central to their times. These include Chiang Kai-shek, Mei Lanfang,
> Liang Qichao, Kang Youwei, Guo Moruo, and many others. The Reformer's
> Brush showcases their artworks, their lives, and their ambitions for
> reform.
