Institutions such as UCCA798, Yuzmuseum and the M Woods museum are bearing some of the cultural-diplomacy load
IT WAS IN the early 20th century that Pablo Picasso was first embraced in China. His blue period —characterised by solemn paintings of gaunt figures and beggars—earned him a reputation for being sensitive to the lower classes and led Chen Shiwen, a Chinese art scholar, to proclaim him the “Lenin of Painting”.
UCCA, a cornerstone of the 798 arts district, usually attracts approximately 900,000 visitors a year; 350,000 saw this show alone. It drew an assorted crowd of government officials, intellectuals, artists, families, students and curious residents keen to escape the summer heat of their flats.
