089.

A Chinese painting is usually thought of as work of ink and water on rice paper. But a new generation of Chinese artists is drawing inspiration from Western art to develop a different style. Wu Guanzhong (1919--2010), is one of those who have borrowed foreign ideas while staying true to his cultural traditions. Wu studied Western painting in Paris in the 1940s. He formed his own ideas about modern Western art. He started to bring together Chinese and Western elemetns in his work. Wu's paintings have the color sense and principles of Western paintings, with the spirit and tonal variations（色调变化）of ink that are typical of Chinese artwork. Under his brush, natural scenery is reduced to its basics, in simple but powerful forms.
Wu's paintings now sell for record prices. He gave 72 works of art to Zhejiang Museum of Art and China Academy of Fine Arts earlier this month.
"Wu has written a special chapter in the Chinese art history of the 20th century." said Qian Linxiang, deputy director of the National Art Museum of China in Beijing. "His paintings go between oil painting and ink painting, and draw Western art into the poetic Chinese style."
"My tutor Jean Souverbie once said there are two paths for artists." said Wu, "The narrow path, that is to please, and the broad one to touch people's hearts. I wanted to take the broad one."
