Friendship with Qi Baishi
The ongoing exhibition also pays tribute to the great friendship between Xu Beihong and Qi Baishi, another celebrated Chinese painter. Qi, born in 1864, is renowned for the whimsical and often playful style of his watercolor works.
A section titled "Great Master in the Eyes of Great Master – Xu Beihong and Qi Baishi" presents over 50 art pieces by the two artists, including some joint works.
