What's on now at San Francisco museums
Briefly

The article discusses several prominent art exhibitions currently on display, including "Qi Baishi: Inspiration in Ink" at the Asian Art Museum until April 7, praised for its exploration of Chinese modernist paintings. It also highlights "Yuan Goang-Ming: Everyday War," featuring work from a Taiwanese artist, which is significant as it marks the artist's first North American solo show. The article notes that visitors can enjoy free access to this exhibition on select Sundays. It also emphasizes the value of local gallery guides for exploring art in the area.
The Wall Street Journal reviewed the show calling it an "exceptional survey of painting and calligraphy from the canonical Chinese modernist's career but often provides too little historical context for audiences."
The work is spectacular - full of humor, careful observation and innovation. Simple objects or singular insects become meditations on the wonder of a rake, shrimp or insect.
Abby Chen, curator of contemporary art at the Asian Art Museum, curated the exhibition here and at the Biennale. She will be in conversation on opening night.
This Sunday, as part of Free First Sundays, visitors can see the show "Yuan Goang-Ming: Everyday War" for free.
