Organizer：Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts and Beijing Academy
venue：Beijing Academy

Beijing Academy of Fine Arts will be hosting the grand opening of “Civil Life in Poetic Mind: Studies on Huang Xinbo’s Art” at 10am on July 12th, 2017. The exhibition is an initiative jointly sponsored by Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts and Beijing Academy of Fine Arts. It is another retrospective on Huang Xinbo’s artistic creations after the exhibition “Idealism and Poeticism: In Memory of Huang Xinbo’s Art ” in the

Museum of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in September 2016. The exhibition is divided into seven sections to present Huang Xinbo’s artistic exploration and achievements in chronological order.

Huang Xinbo is the pioneer artist when Mr. Lu Xun promoted the movement of woodcut, as well as the representative artist in Chinese modern printmaking art history. By the beginning of 1920s, Huang took part in “The Association of Chinese Progressive Writers” and started to explore woodcuts. Under the influence of the progressive writer Lu Xun, Huang’s artistic creations were associated with modern notions of national

salvation and enlightenment. His artworks reflected the threats encountered by the nation, the civil lives of lower-class people, as well as revolutionary and political subject matters. Distinguished from other contemporary art during wartime, Huang paid attention to the people’s mind and psychological insights during wartime. After the foundation of New China, Huang Xinbo’s art works moved toward the subjects of praising the passionate labors. In utilization of symbolic visual devices and metaphors, Huang created numbers of energetic figures and formed a freed poetic style.
