Zhang Shaoxia is a renowned Western art history researcher in contemporary China. He studied at Nanjing Academy of Arts under the guidance of Professor Liu Ruli, a renowned figure in art history. Zhang Shaoxia devoted himself to the research and compilation of foreign arts and crafts history. In the 1980s, he published a series of academic monographs such as the Outline of European Arts and Crafts History, Asian Arts and Crafts History, and African and American Arts and Crafts, filling a gap in the study of world arts and crafts history in China. He is one of the founders of the discipline of arts and crafts history. Zhang Shaoxia and student Li Xiaoshan jointly wrote and published a representative academic monograph "The History of Western Art Development", and later published "The World Collection of Painting Series", which is highly valued by art history researchers.

Lin Shuchuan, Deputy Director of the Art Museum of Nanjing Academy of Arts, introduced that the exhibition is based on Zhang Shaoxia's life as a golfer and depicts the scenery he saw while playing golf around the world. "From this exhibition, the younger generation of art historians can see the rigorous academic pursuit of the older generation of art history researchers in their careers."

Professor Zhu Qingsheng from the Department of History at Peking University and rotating chairman of the International Society of Art History believes that the emergence of new media has brought us some pressure, and materials and images replicated by artificial intelligence machines can create some art. In painting creation, only by fully "gazing" at art can we go further on this path.

"Learning art is very fortunate. Art is our enlightenment, allowing us to appreciate the beauty of life. Being with art, I think we will live happier!" said Liu Weidong, a professor of art history at Nanjing University of Art.

It is reported that the exhibition will continue until November 27th.
