Art connects hearts on both sides of the Pacific

Xiaoling Tomb, at the foot of Zijin Mountain in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, is a mausoleum of the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), Zhu Yuanzhang, with architectural features and layouts that defined imperial authority.
Among the recent visitors to this UNESCO World Heritage Site was a group of artists from the United States, accompanied by fellow Chinese artists. Immersed in the serene landscapes and relaxed atmosphere, the artists opened dialogues on history and culture.
The US artists visited Nanjing for Connecting Hearts Through Art , an exhibition in which their contemporary ink paintings in the classic style of Nanjing artists are displayed.
The exhibition runs at the Yuan Contemporary Art Museum until June 15 and is jointly hosted by the Jiangsu Chinese Painting Society and Abilene Christian University.
The paintings include mountain-and-water and flower-and-bird genres, delivering a take on the harmony between humans and nature. Works by the US artists encompass prints, sculptures and oils, displaying explorations of form and materials.

The battle of the artists.
Nice. I especially like the two birds (cranes?) by Zhao Yeping and the piece by Chen Guohuan.
I spend about 2 1/2 days in Nanjing when I was in China. It is a rather beautiful city. We visited the Xiaoling Tomb, an interesting museum and a very beautiful, large park that as I recall is a gift to the people of Nanjing from Japan. I think we may have visited one or two other parks, also.
I never got to Nanjing. There are so many places here that I'll never see, but I have seen quite a lot of what there is to see. .
Will post a link to this shortly.
Thank you.
