Description

The small bridge, flowing water, black eaves and blue tiles, flying birds and waves in this landscape painting are all deeply cherished by the author. White walls, Dai tiles, green willows, stone bridges... graceful lines, freehand ink painting, like poetry, like dreams... It is ink painting that has undergone a transformation, giving it a youthful appearance. Wu Guanzhong was a French painter who studied abroad and was also one of the first painters in New China to return from the West and serve their motherland. He blends Chinese and Western cultures, and throughout his artistic career, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to searching among the people, in life, and in exploration, forging his own artistic path. He has studied Monet's pond water lilies and weeping willows, C é zanne's green jungle, Van Gogh's landscape figures, Uteriro's lyrical paintings, and Matisse's lines. Whether in the oil painting and traditional Chinese painting fields, Wu Guanzhong is a distinctive and deserving painter, known as the "Matisse of the East" in today's international art world.
