Features: Masters of art are a unique landscape in the history of humanity. Their art and legendary experiences are often shrouded in a mysterious veil, making them seem ever more lofty and unreachable to later generations. In reality, art masters are ordinary people too. Their success is not merely due to their extraordinary artistic talent and superior skills, but also because of their extraordinary life experiences and personal characteristics. This book attempts to approach the truth of their humanity and artistic activities by interpreting the life experiences and works of outstanding Western art masters step by step – the projection of all the encounters in a person's life into the depths of their soul will inevitably manifest in their lifelong efforts.
