1). People Mountain, People Sea
你在楼上看风景，看风景的人在楼上看你2). I am modern art challenged. I need to take an modern art appreciation class.
I say this not just because of these paintings which I have no clue what they are about (they do look impressive to the eye), but also about numerous other drawings, etc. which I think pre-schoolers can mass-produce to no less pure art value. The question is, which comes first, the artist's reputation, or his or her who-knows-what-it-is-about abstract scribbles? And really, how valuable are the Emperor's new clothes?3) No photos for this one, because it was prohibited. But where is the fine line between art and pornography? Some paintings simply just sickened me. That says so much of my taste.
4) Last but not least, I rediscovered an artist that I really like: Andrew Wyeth.
I remember I first saw this tempera painting, Christina's World (1948), in high school, an information-deprived era so long ago. I've always really liked the spirit of this girl, who was crippled by polio but free and hopeful in her mind.
