A critique of exhibition


Last Thursday, we went to Nanjing University to appreciate an exhibition—Wu Weishan’s cultural figures sculpture.
There were many sculpture and painting in the museum. The most interesting one is “sleeping child”. I like it because it was meaningful. It was made in year 2002. When I saw it, I called to remembrance my childhood, maybe I slept heavily like that child. That was a happy feeling I think.
The hierophant told us this sculpture was like an egg really. In the museum is a large one. Copy the real one’s antitypes. Want visitors to see the baby’s expression, and feel baby’s happiness.
It made of soil, and full of brown. Baby’s appearance was not very beautiful. But this sculpture got an international award because of its meaning. In our peaceful country, the baby’s happiness can move everyone’s susceptibility.
Artist used the small details to communicate the happiness. I love it do not have the technology and gorgeous color production. That feeling is very pure.
