何香凝曾任中国美术家协会主席，她的画作气度恢弘、立意深邃，常借对松、梅、狮、虎和山川的描绘，抒情明志，是她70年革命生涯和高尚人格的生动写照。众多艺术家和领导人的补笔、题词，使得她的画作更为凝重。她的绘画作品堪称中华民族的瑰宝。
武汉是辛亥革命的首义之地，抗日战争的重要战场，在中国近现代史上占有重要地位，也是何香凝革命工作过的重要城市。位于武汉市汉口中山大道的南洋大楼曾是武汉国民政府的所在地，何香凝与国共两党众多领导人都曾在这栋大楼活动。1926年12月，她在汉口庆祝北伐胜利大会上发表演讲。1927年3月，国民党二届***在南洋大楼召开，在这次全会上，经过何香凝等国民党左派及共产党人的努力，通过了一系列重要的议案和文件，重申孙中山的三大政策和坚持国共合作的革命原则。这些政策，有利于壮大革命力量，推动反帝反封建的国民革命的蓬勃发展。
何香凝美术馆是国家美术馆，湖北美术馆是国家重点美术馆，时值辛亥革命114周年，两馆共同策划，在武汉举办何香凝艺术及文献专题展。本展从何馆众多藏品中遴选52件精品及丰富的历史文献、学术研究成果，以此呈现何香凝波澜壮阔的人生，感受百年中国的奋起。籍此展览，亦希望能够进一步加深武汉、深圳两地的文化交流与合作。

Foreword
He Xiangning(1878-1972), born in Hong Kong,was one of the great female activists and artists in modern Chinese history. She often called herself the "Cotton Villager" after her family's ancestral village in Guangdong Province and also called the "Shuangqing Owner".

In 1903, He Xiangning traveled with her husband Liao Zhongkai to study in Japan.She joined the Tongmenghui(Chinese United League) in 1905,and followed Sun Yat-sen into the efforts for the Xinhai Revolution and the fight against warlords.She then dedicated herself to the Chinese democratic revolution. After 1949, the establishment of the People's Republic of China, she held a variety of official posts, including Member of the Central People's Government Committee, Chair of the NPC's Overseas Chinese Affairs Committee, Chair of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomingtang, Honorary Chair of the All-China Women's Federation, Vice Chairperson of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Vice Chairperson of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, and Chair of the China Artists Association.He Xiangning was an eminent leader of the People's Republic of China. She dedicated her entire life to making substantial contributions to the liberation of the Chinese people, the founding of New China, the socialist construction of the country, the great cause of national reunification, and the friendship between the Chinese people and the people of the world. She garnered immense respect and prestige both domestically and internationally.

He Xiangning, who served as the Chairman of the Chinese Artists' Association, was renowned for her paintings characterized by their magnificent scale and profound themes. She often expressed her sentiments and aspirations through depicting pines, plum blossoms, lions, tigers, and mountains and rivers, which vividly portrayed her 70-year revolutionary life and noble personality. Inscriptions by many Chinese artists and national leaders add weight and significance to many of her works. Her paintings are a treasure of the Chinese people.
Wuhan, the birthplace of the Xinhai Revolution and an important battlefield during the War of Resistance Against Japan, occupies a significant position in modern and contemporary Chinese history. It is also a significant city where He Xiangning carried out her revolutionary work. The Nanyang Building, located on Zhongshan Avenue in Hankou, Wuhan, was once the site of the Wuhan National Government, where He Xiangning and many leaders of both the Kuomintang (KMT) and the Communist Party were active. In December 1926, she delivered a speech at the celebration of the victory of the Northern Expedition in Hankou. In March 1927, the Third Plenary Session of the Second Central Executive Committee of the KMT was held at the Nanyang Building. During this plenary session, thanks to the efforts of He Xiangning and other left-wing members of the KMT as well as Communists, a series of important resolutions and documents were passed, reiterating Sun Yat-sen's Three Principles of the People and adhering to the revolutionary principle of cooperation between the KMT and the Communist Party. These policies contributed to the growth of the revolutionary forces and promoted the vigorous development of the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal national revolution.

The He Xiangning Art Museum is a national-level art museum, and the Hubei Museum of Art is a key national art museum. On the 114th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution, the two museums jointly planned and held a special exhibition on He Xiangning's art and documents in Wuhan. This exhibition selects 52 exquisite works, along with rich historical documents and academic research results, from the museum's vast collection to present the magnificent life of He Xiangning and to feel the rise of China over the past century. Through this exhibition, we hope to further deepen cultural exchanges and cooperation between Wuhan and Shenzhen.
