An exhibition featuring Chinese print artworks of the 20th
century was inaugurated in Belgrade on Wednesday night, as part of
the cultural exchange between China and Serbia-Montenegro.
"The history of China's woodblock prints dates back over two
thousand years," said Wang Fuguo, political counselor of the
Chinese embassy in Belgrade, while addressing the opening
ceremony.
He said the 100 pieces of China's print artworks showcased in
this exhibition are careful selections from thousands of Chinese
prints over the 20th century.
Serbian Culture Minister Dusan Kojadinovic said the exhibition
offers the local people with a window to learn about a great
variety of print artworks and the changing life of the Chinese
people during the 20th century.
The two-month exhibition was sponsored by the Yugoslav History
Museum and the Chinese embassy in Belgrade. The opening ceremony
was attended by some 100 people from all walks of life in
Belgrade.
