A truly revolutionary painter

Chinese oil painting pioneer Li Tiefu's (1869-1952) solo show at the Art Museum of the Beijing Fine Art Academy is coming to an end this weekend.

The late Cantonese artist, who died nearly seven decades ago, is less well-known today since he spent half his life in North America and remained distant from art communities. He was one of the first Chinese artists to receive academic art training overseas.

Exhibition The One Beyond the Ordinary portrays Li's creativity and patriotism.
