Taking “From Yan’an to Beijing” as its thread, and time as its clue, the exhibition is divided into four sections: the first part, Light is Ahead—Head for Yan’an; secondly, Passionate Years—at Yan’an; thirdly, Sons of the Earth—New life in New China; fourthly, Lofty Aspirations Unrealized—the 1970s. From these, the third section has been divided into seven units, namely: the Centenary Work—“Bloody Clothes”, National Spirit – Creations on Revolutionary Historical themes, Epochal New Songs—Labor and Construction, the Vast and the Subtle—Teaching Practice, Learning from both East and West—Chronicle of Traveling in Europe, Clear Lake and Distant Mountains— Landscapes and Paintings from life, the Utter Innocence— Life and Family. Such a systematic and clear organized presentation makes it possible for us to review the whole of Wang Shikuo’s art career. Now it is like combing and researching Chinese art history in the mid-twentieth century. Anyone who studies the art of this period could not avoid Mr. Wang’s artistic achievement and educational ideology.
