An Olympics-themed art exhibit titled “Greet the Winter Olympics, Beauty Chasing Dreams” opened in Beijing on Friday, ahead of the 2022 Winter Olympics. The exhibit is co-organized by China Media Group (CMG) and the National Art Museum of China (NAMOC).
The duration of the exhibited works is 80 years and consists of two chapters, “dream and strive” and “defend and compete,” NAMOC curator Wu Weishan said at the ceremony. The exhibition vividly interprets the Olympic spirit, presents a credible and respectable image of China, and tells the story of China’s sports development to the world, he added.
The exhibition features more than 160 works of art, including “Coubertin†by Wu Weishan, “Conquering Mount Qomolangma†by painter Feng Jie and the portrait series of Olympic champion by photographer Pang Xiaowei.
