This exhibition included 40 watercolor paintings by China's most famous watercolor painters, in the collection of the LIU Haisu Art Museum in Shanghai. The visual language of the collection is diverse, with themes encompassing landscape, as well as figurative and still life. The artistic expression of the exhibition utilizes realism, abstraction, as well as traditional and contemporary modalities with a fresh, colorful, and elegant style executed passionately by each artist. Bringing the collection to the New York/New Jersey Metropolitan area promoted the international exchange of arts between China and the United States and highlighted the beauty of watercolor, the first western form of painting (medium) popular in China.
