Dramatic social changes in 20th-century China are reflected in the works of artists of the time, which, in return, helped promote reforms that shaped the cultural landscape.

The Pace of Times, a long-term exhibition at the Guangdong Museum of Art's Bai'etan venue, gathers selected pieces from its collection that spans from 1900 to 1978. One part of the show focuses on the efforts of artists in the early 20th century to modernize Chinese art and address evolving social needs. The second part focuses on the establishment of a new vocabulary of visual arts after 1949, the founding of the People's Republic of China.
