What an exhibition! there are many well-known artists exhibiting their awe-inspiring works. I'm totally amazed by Storm. I think the artist got that idea from trees and follen leaves after a storm.
Read the comments and pay attention to the compound adjectives in bold.

Indeed the exhibition is worth visiting, despite the over-priced tickets. But personally, I think the inspiration for Storm might be the overwhelming amount of information in the digital age. The highly-skilled artist is voicing her attitude through the natural form of a storm.

Check out the ground-breaking installations. The one named Superhighway is breathtaking! It is absolutely astonishing to see a superhighway world map made entirely wires and cables. Like Storm, I think the artist is trying to state his attitudes towards the digital age.
Read the comments and pay attention to the compound adjectives in bold.

What do you know about Pablo Picasso
Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Born in Spain, Picasso's artistic talent was evident from a very early age. His works are often categorised into periods, for example the Blue Period and the Rose Period. Among his most famous paintings are the cubist, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, and Guernica. Picasso's later works often combined elements of his earlier styles.

What do you know about Feng Zikai
Feng Zika (1898–1975) was an influential painter and cartoonist, and a pioneer of manhua. Born in Tongxiang in the Zhejiang Province, Feng studied at the Zhejiang First Normal School, where he was highly influenced by the famous Japanese-trained teacher Li Shutong. Feng was also an accomplished writer, producing a number of essays on literature, painting, music, and calligraphy, as well as children’s cartoons.
Since the earliest cave paintings, humans have been exhibiting art on walls. There has always been a connection between artists and their works, their points of view, and the viewers. Bringing artworks together into an exhibitior enables all of us to experience the works, to respond to, to enjoy and to connect with them.
Art exhibitions can have many themes, such as a historical period, a location or a trend. Of them all, one ever-lasting source of inspiration is war and peace. Countless artists have been protesting wars and promoting peace via their works, including Spanish artist Pablo Picasso and Chinese artist Feng Zikai, to name just a couple.

① Guernica
② The Battlefield in Spring

The title of this painting is Guernica. It was painted by
the well-known Spanish artist, Pablo Picasso. Picasso
painted this huge, breathtaking painting after the attack
on the town of Guernica by the Nazis. It measures about
3.5 metres in height and almost 8 metres in width, and
contains many different elements. In the centre of the painting, we can see a bull, a horse, a light bulb and a dead or wounded man lying on the ground. There have been endless debates about the meaning of these images, but Picasso insisted that it wasn't up to the painter to define them. He said that people must interpret the images as they understand them. Through these images, I can see the tragedy of war, and feel the people's fear as well as Picasso's anger towards the fighting. In the painting, Picasso uses only three colours: black,white and grey. In my opinion, this makes its effect more powerful than using a full range of colours.

Let's take a look at The Battlefield in Spring by Feng Zikai,
who was one of the pioneers of modern Chinese cartoons.
His illustrations deal with complex social issues in a simple
and lively way, and are widely loved by Chinese people.
This Chinese cartoon is painted in protest of Japanese
aggression against China. In this cartoon, you can see
a small section of a battlefield, made up of sandbags,
an army cap and a wire fence. On one of the sandbags grows some grass leaves. The lifeless objects together with the grass leaves create a strong contrast. Unlike Guernica, I personally think this cartoon delivers quite an optimistic message. It shows that the destruction of war is only temporary, and that the power of life is everlasting. I can feel the strong spirit and hope in this cartoon. It is widely believed that the grass shows Feng Zikai's encouragement to the Chinese people as well as his hope for peace. Through his war cartoons, he wanted to express his belief that Chinese people would win the war and bring peace back to the country.
