TY - BOOK N2 - In this book the artist uses vibrant watercolors to depict typical scenes from his native country in the original Impressionist-inspired style that has made him famous : from the bustling streets of the cities to the tranquility of the mountains, and from the majestic landscapes to the spiritual temples. This semi-autobiographical journey takes us from Beijing, over Huangshan, the yellow mountain famous for inspiring many a painter or poet, across the canals of Zhouzhuang, China's first village on water, to Taishan, the most sacred of the Taoist mountains. True to the Taoist philosophy, the artist shows his love for nature in his depiction of China's flora and fauna. This sketchbook explores not only the landscapes, but also the people and their culture, with chapters devoted to Chinese music, dance, and costumes and a section on calligraphy, an art form in itself.
