Award honors promising artists

Few Chinese know Wang Shikuo (1911-73), but most know his works - realistic oil paintings that depict China's Communist revolution. He is so admired that a contemporary-art award bearing his name was announced in 2016.

Twelve artists have been nominated this year. Their works are displayed at the Amassing Force exhibition at Today Art Museum.
