1991 New Year Exhibition: Children in Chinese Art
1991中国新年展：中国艺术中的儿童

How have Chinese artists represented children, and how do children represent the world in their paintings? These were just two of the many interesting questions raised by looking at children as the subject of art and as creators of their own art in this special Lunar New Year exhibition. Part of the exhibition surveyed the depiction of children in Chinese art, with over thirty objects, including paintings, ceramics, jade, glass, and cloisonné dating from the Han dynasty (206 BCE–220 CE) through the twentieth century. The rest of the exhibition showed over one hundred recent works on paper by Chinese children, ages four to fifteen, who had won awards in China and exhibited their work internationally.
