It is quite surprising that the million-word masterpiece is so popular among the students of this w88 casino.
This book was written by the author based on his own class experience over five years. Different from ordinary university textbooks that are full of theory and cross-examination, this book is vivid and simple, and it is not difficult to understand even though it reads millions of words.
The book is divided into seven sections, covering from ancient Greece to the Renaissance until20Century of modern art. The author uses a chatting tone to sort out the painting schools, styles, formation and evolution of works in various periods one by one, telling the story behind each painting and each painter, and intuitively commenting on the advantages and flaws of a painting.
Liu Yongge said that he has always stubbornly believed that art is not a mysterious thing. If students can get to know it and get close to it during chatting and walking, why do they have to pretend to be mysterious and sit upright? Unlike art w88 casino students who focus more on professional skills, students in ordinary colleges and universities are more willing to directly knock on the doors of masters to understand the stories behind their works.
With those“Serious version”Compared with the pure art treatises of 10466_10511|, the relaxed contextual relationship of this book makes it possible to take off suits and ties and only wear one suit when all academic issues arise“Casual wear”。“To put it more simply, Western classic paintings are more about appreciation, learning, and reference, rather than worshiping what others say, and not looking for reasons and references for belittling rhetoric. My original intention of writing this book is to allow the younger generation of college students and more readers to truly understand an objective way of looking at the world while appreciating Western classic paintings.”Liu Yongge said.
Zheng Gong, a well-known art history expert, believes that this book makes him read“Art appreciation or art history treatises can completely get rid of the monotonous academic appearance and approach the public with a friendly attitude.”

Book title“Dianju”The use of this word is very interesting. It was originally a dotting technique in traditional Chinese painting. It can also describe the state of the painter's random dotting when painting. Such a title not only shows the author's unique attitude and method of interpreting Western painting art, but also tells young students that in addition to praising Western painting art, they must also have the awareness to objectively comment on it.
The author Liu Yongge is“Splashing Colorful Blood Horse”The founder of painting, he is also the first Chinese painter to bring the work of sweating horses to the European and American stage in the form of easel painting.
