Take a docent-guided tour of the special exhibition “From Shanghai to Ohio: Woo Chong Yung (1898-1989).” From the 1920s through the 1940s, Woo was at the center of China’s cultural world, recognized in the art circles of both Shanghai and Beijing. Faced with political persecution in the 1960s, Woo emigrated to Columbus, OH, where he taught painting and worked with local arts councils. The exhibition illustrates how his remarkable experience of emigration and becoming an American citizen transformed and reshaped both his life and art. Location: Cincinnati Art Museum, 953 Eden Park Dr, Eden Park.
