Central Academy of Arts & Design (CAAD), the first academy about arts and design in higher education, has laid the foundation for the arts & design teaching system in China. In 1999, the Central Academy of Arts & Design merged with Tsinghua University and changed its name to the Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University. The main road next to the academy has been christened “Guanghua Road” in commemoration of the former “Guanghua Road” and “immortal CAAD”. As a member of the first faculty, Yuan Yunfu has made great contributions to the field of modern art and design education with his pioneering spirit. Tsinghua University Art Museum hold this exhibition to mark the 90th anniversary of his birth as well as the 40th anniversary of the admissions of four artists hatched from CAAD: Yu Huijian, Ma Quan, Zhang Dali and Yuan Jia, who have benefitted a lot from Yuan Yunfu’s teaching. They were blazing art trails of their own to practice the perception about “ART” (expanding fine arts) of Yuan Yunfu to present the teaching principles and achievements of CAAD.
