Features: Modernist painters are a group of "lawbreakers." In their view, not only can the beautiful be painted, but the ugly, the realistic, and the non-realistic can also be painted. They can use brushes, but also use ready-made objects or substitutes to "paint," and even paint without a brush. Starting from a series of modern concepts, they create artworks completely different from those of the past. In The Lawbreakers, based on the author's keen sense of observation and thorough understanding of modern painting concepts, the author delves into the ideas behind modern painting. Painters create art from concepts, while the author moves from sensation to concepts, achieving true harmony at the conceptual level—this is the main feature of the book. Moreover, the author uses paintings to explore many aspects of life, history, literature, and art, expanding the scope of The Lawbreakers beyond a narrow theory of painting limited to the theme of "painting and talking." Instead, it delves into the depth of inner feelings during the process of moving from "painting" to "talking," fully reflecting the author's modern aesthetic awareness and life experiences. It is precisely the "painting" of modernist painters and the "talking" of the author that broaden the readers' horizons and expand their imaginative space, ultimately allowing readers to gain a vast realm of their own aesthetic experiences and life insights.
