On 14th of March in 2009, I went to Jiangsu Provincial Art Museum to watch the exhibition with my classmates. There was an exhibition of pictures of bulls on the floor. We went upstairs to see how good those artworks were.Jiangsu Provincial Art Museum has long history. It was set up in 1936 and it is the first modern museum in 20th century in China.
To my surprise, there were only five people and a supervisor there. The supervisor asked us if we are students form Nanjing foreign language school, and we answered him yes. He told us that there were several students from our school went there in the morning. We thought they might be GCA students. The name of the exhibition was exhibition of the year of the Ox. All the pictures were drawn by the members of the Jiangsu provincial flower-bird painting association. Most of them were made by one person called Ye Zongqiao. Some of them were vivid while some were not so good. I liked the picture of the couple of cattle best. The painter made this in a traditional way. The cow was pale while the ox was dark, they put their heads very close and face to face. I can get to know their love from their eye contacts. It seems that the painter used the technique of personification and the cattle were two lovers. I like the idea of this art work an some details in it.
William and I went out of the building after about 20 minutes because the exhibition was extremely boring and there were few people there. I did not like the whole exhibition but I enjoyed some of the paintings.
