 ◆ Dunhuang Art Scholar's Paintings Donated

Paintings by the late Chang Shuhong, a renowned Chinese painter and expert on Dunhuang Art, were donated by his family to the China Friendship Foundation for Peace and Development Wednesday. The foundation plans to auction the paintings at a later date to raise funds for the research, study and preservation of cultural relics of the Dunhuang Grottoes in northwest China's Gansu Province. Chang, who died in 1994 at the age of 90, was the first director of the Research Institute of Dunhuang Cultural Relics. His oil paintings won several international prizes in France in 1930s.
