Who was the first female mannequin in China?

On July 20th, 1920, a woman named Chen Xiaojun walked into the classroom. She is a well-paid mannequin and the first mannequin in China. This incident caused a great sensation at that time. Chen Xiaojun, the first female mannequin in China, was beaten by her father and could not even get out of bed. It was not easy for Chen Xiaojun to stand up in that feudal era. She not only has to face different eyes and criticisms from all walks of life, but also suffers from her father's rage and beatings. Chen Xiaojun has a great influence on the progress of the art world in China.

Speaking of mannequins, we have to mention Li Shutong and Liu Haisu. Both of them are artists who broke the shackles of feudal thought and devoted themselves to art seriously. 193 1 year, Li Shutong arranged for male models to draw human body sketches. Then at 19 14, Liu Haisu also held a human body class in his college. The two of them have always been considered heretics. At that time, the intellectual and artistic circles even criticized them, and some extreme people even insulted Liu Haisu's schools and even everyone in politics. Liu Haisu's teachers also hoped that he could take refuge abroad and disapproved of his radical approach, but Liu Haisu stuck to his point of view. In Liu Haisu's own biography, I often miss Chen Xiaojun, who is a great woman worthy of respect and has made great contributions to China's artistic career.

In fact, even now, there are still many controversies about painting nudes and mannequins. Some people think that painting nude is immoral and will not be recognized by society. They think those who draw nude pictures are hypocrites and dirty people. They think that since painting is not painting, why do they have to paint people who wear nothing? These people just do some dirty work by painting. Those who support nude paintings and mannequins believe that if the heart is colorless, then the soul is holy and free from filth. Art should not be restricted. I'm not surprised that there are still opposing views. After all, people's views can't completely converge, and there will be opposition if they agree. Besides, things can't stay the same. Some people paint for art, but many people do dirty work in the name of painting nude. So it is understandable that there is controversy.

Art should not be bound, but freedom is limited. Art has no boundaries, but the artist's morality and bottom line have boundaries. As long as you don't play hooligans in the name of art, then art should be affirmed.
