Rare painting on display at national art museum

Founded in 1941, the league was composed of figures from cultural and art circles. Many of them were artists of repute, who shaped the landscape of 20th century Chinese art.

Running through Sept 5, the exhibition shows how the league's members, driven by their love of the country and its people, used art to make work that continues to touch and motivate people today.

The exhibition celebrates the upcoming 75th anniversary of the People's Republic of China and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
