\"Mang<\/a>Paul Manfredi at China Avantgarde <\/a>writes about the exhibition of the paintings of the Poetic Survivors. He explains:<\/p>\n

This exhibition, title The Poetic Survivors \u8bd7\u610f\u7684\u5e78\u5b58\u8005<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>, is on a larger scale than many iterations past, with some new members in the line-up. In particular is the calligraphy of Tang Xiaodu \u5510\u6653\u6e21<\/em>, long-time critic and cultural figure whose visual art I had never seen before this collection emerged. Also notable is the preface to the exhibition written by Yang Lian, who is not often so closely engaged with goings-on inside China. The funding will carry this exhibition through numerous cities over the next 12 months, among them and besides Shanghai where the operation kicked off in November, will be Beijing, Shenyang, and Dalian.<\/p>\n

They are here joined by Tang Xiaodu \u5510\u6653\u6e21<\/em>, as mentioned, but also You You\u00a0\u53cb\u53cb<\/em>, Guo Changhong \u90ed\u957f\u8679<\/em>, Li Li \u674e\u7b20<\/em>\u00a0and Jie Wei\u00a0\u89e3\u5371<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
