A special exhibition of traditional Chinese painting by award-winning artist Li Zou, depicting influential ancient concubines, most of whom became empresses and made an impact on Chinese history. Their roles ranged from stateswomen, social reformers, and educators to cruel despots, victims of palace intrigue, and murderesses. The painting method is highly traditional and very complicated. It is a technique which is rare in Chinese art today and is revered by the public.
