The twentieth century was one of the most active periods in art history. The co-founder, director of the Long Museum, Mrs Wang Wei has started the collecting of works in this period since 1990s. By this year the museum collection represents art in the twentieth-century through more than 910 pieces（sets）by artists from all of the world. Since June 2014, the Curatorial Research Department started the research on the museum collection from the perspectives of case study and the feather discussion, which will be presented in a variety of ways such as exhibition and publication.
Twentieth-Century Art from the Long Museum Collection I Shanghai Art Scene, the first presentation of the feather discussion on the twentieth-century art from the museum collection curated by Lu Jing, will be put on display in Gallery 3B of Long Museum West Bund from December 18th, 2014 to June 30th, 2015. The exhibition presents a picture of the art scene in twentieth-century Shanghai through the museum collection and archives.
The first part of the exhibition will show those works reflecting the development of Shanghai. Works like TAO Lengyue’s Fuxing Park(1957),YANG Keyang’s Shanghai Documentation(1988) shows for the first time since the museum’s opening. The other part will focus on those active member artists of artistic societies and associations in early twentieth-century Shanghai. The works and archives related to their life and art practice will bring the visitors closer to the art scene during that period. Those artists include YANG Qiuren and One One Art Society (yiyi yishe), XU Xingzhi who as a major founder, established the Time Art Society (shidai meishushe) in February and was chosen as the chairman of the League of Left-wing Artists in the August. A more radical artistic society, the Storm Society (juelanshe) was established by PANG Xunqin, WANG Jiyuan and NI Yide in September 23th, 1931. As one of the most represented art societies in early twentieth-century Shanghai, their members have strong sense of responsibilities. Their manifesto was a cry of despair about the present state of art, and of hope for the future: “We want to use the new art to express the spirit of a new era”.
