Features: "Talking with Masters" is an oral series. This book records the experiences and feelings of Chen Peiqiu's artistic practice. The author has been acquainted with the painters for decades, either watching them paint at their desks or engaging in imaginative conversations. Through listening to their words and observing their actions, the author gradually realizes that the differences in their brushwork, ink, water, and color on paper stem from their unique inner experiences and feelings. By allowing the painters to "speak and paint for themselves," the author reharmonizes their inner experiences with their expressed artistry. Isn't this better than others' critiques?
