Features: A travel diary of a Chinese painter, filled with the passion of a full-fledged artist, praising ancient human world civilizations and showing reverence for art masters. The words and phrases are filled with the spark of vibrant life and brilliant ideas, while also harboring deep confusion and concern for modern and contemporary art. In two months, centered in Paris, the author traveled through 10 countries in Europe, walking, writing, observing, and painting, accumulating sketches in nine large sketchbooks. Now, with technology advancing rapidly, many painters have abandoned the basic skill of recording life through sketches and the ability to capture images, relying instead on modern technology to record life materials through photography and video. However, the author remains steadfast in the ancient field of painting, still accompanied by a sketchbook, writing and painting, truly achieving the journey of walking, painting, and writing, recording what the author saw, heard, observed, and thought. During the European journey, this book is the author's 60+ diary entries and 400+ sketches from their visits to Europe.
