The exhibition aims to offer a chance for the public to enjoy the classics and the art lovers to study them closely. As Yue Jieqiong said, Jin Shangyi was an important figure in studying modern Chinese art history, especially the history of oil painting, and his works are exemplary. Therefore, it not only expands the propagation effect of the classics, but also offers the public an improved knowledge of the print of the classics, certainly for some, especially collectors who are able to improve the ability to appreciate the works. The introduction of these prints of classic works reduce the distance between the master and the public, who are able to visit the exhibition, see the album, and buy it. Works are presented in the F4 Exhibition Hall, and lasts until May 26, 2013.
