Wu Guanzhong: Learning from the Master is the fifth in a series of exhibitions dedicated to Wu Guanzhong (1919–2010), a significant forerunner in the history of 20th-century Chinese art. Wu devoted his career to exploring modern art in a native context, traversing the mediums of oil and ink, creating a dialogue between the traditions of Chinese and Western modernist art.

This exhibition highlights Wu's role as an art educator from 1976 to 1985, during this important period in Chinese art history. It examines how Wu encouraged his students to break away from officially sanctioned art and led them to search for their own expressions. Through drawings, manuscripts, notes, photographs, and oral records, the exhibition constructs a historical and imaginative space that invites viewers to join the creative journey, shared by both the master and his students.
