Features: Zhang Yiping said in the preface to "Sketches of a European Journey" that: "We believe that art is the light and heat in culture. Painting and sculpture are the highest expression of human spirit. For thousands of years in our country, talented artists have emerged one after another. The lingering brilliance of the Tang and Song dynasties is now distant and unattainable. The decline of the modern art world is sigh-worthy. Our national spirit has become extremely. Many overseas students envy the splendor of Western material civilization, and those who study art are even 'few and far between.' How can we bring about a Chinese cultural renaissance and let our nation shine brightly in the world? Those who eat beef abroad and use academia as a stepping stone have no hope. Those who regard academia as their life and dedicate their lives to its study are the ones with hope." This book is suitable for researchers or enthusiasts of painting art, Liu Haisu researchers or admirers, those who have traveled to Europe, and those who are about to travel to Europe, as well as college and high school students.
