Faces from reality

As a humble rural artisan from northern China who rose to become one of the country's leading portrait painters, Xin Dongwang shared many of the hardships and setbacks faced by migrant workers moving to the city and the compassion he felt for them quickly became his hallmark.

The exhibition Psyche: A Portfolio of Xin Dongwang's Works shows a collection of his drawings and paintings at the Tsinghua University Art Museum.
