The Beijing Fine Art Academy is holding an exhibition titled From Yan'an to Beijing focusing on the work of member artists who once lived and worked in Yan'an, Shaanxi province, and witnessed its rise as the command center of the Communist Party of China.

The first part of the show gathers woodblock prints made in Yan'an in which one will see how the artists integrated storied techniques with folk art aesthetics to bring out the revolutionary spirit. The second part shows paintings made after artists joined the then newly established Beijing Fine Art Academy in the 1950s. The exhibition runs through April 24.
