Master painter Wu Guanzhong is known for integrating the techniques of Western art with the aesthetic and philosophy of Chinese culture.

Wu created a distinguished, dynamic and poetic style that helped shape the art landscape of 20th-century China.

He is also remembered for his generosity. He made several donations of his work to public museums at home and abroad.

Wu Weishan, curator of the National Art Museum of China, wrote an inscription for the exhibition --Xiang Qing, which means nostalgic. He said Wu Guanzhong had said many times over the years that he was homesick.

During the opening ceremony, the Wu Guanzhong Art Research Information Center was also launched.
