Painters belong to the art circle. I am not familiar with the art circle, but I like painting. I know this painter named Chen Danqing. This great painter, who once yearned for freedom and pursued the "American Dream", is now rich and famous after returning to China after getting along in the United States, which is really touching. Oil painting originated in Europe. Italian Catholic priest Matteo Ricci and others came to China to preach and brought European oil painting works to China.

Since then, oil painting has developed in China, and it has been integrated with China's painting. After 1949, China's oil paintings entered a new period of development.

The painters in the old liberated areas and the Kuomintang-controlled areas merged into a United team, and the great social changes have made profound changes in the content and form of oil painting creation. Now, in our layman's view, the development of oil painting may not be so prosperous. Even if it is not so prosperous, it is still a representative figure in the field of oil painting in China. Chen Danqing is one of them.

He famously said, "An artist is the craziest and most enjoyable animal. What is the real history of art? It is a silent mass elimination. " From his quotations, we can see that he is bohemian and loves freedom.

He is the most influential contemporary artist, writer, literary critic and scholar. His representative works include "Tibetan Painting Group" and "Retrograde Collection Continuation", and his painting style and writing style are elegant and simple. Wise and frank temperament, full of unique personality charm. In his early years, Chen Danqing went to the United States to develop his own art

He admired and yearned for the freedom of the United States, which he thought was his ideal country, but when he arrived in the United States, he found that there was a huge gap between his expectations and reality.

After going to the United States, language difficulties, maladjustment of the environment and racial discrimination surrounded him, and even it was difficult to maintain a basic life, let alone pursue ideals.

He makes a living by selling paintings, and almost no one comes to watch his art exhibitions, and some of them are Chinese. This is a very frustrating thing for Chen Danqing. Later, Chen Danqing returned to China, and his difficult experience in the United States was only known to himself < P >. Others only thought that Chen Danqing returned to China after he had learned something. After studying abroad in those days, everyone would think that he was a successful man. He served as a professor and doctoral supervisor at the Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts.

These honors boosted his social status. After the cold reception in the United States, he was enthusiastically sought after after after returning to China. His words and deeds began to go against the facts and beautify himself. He transmitted his experience and freedom in the United States to the people of China, and made inappropriate remarks about his country.

this kind of boasting against the facts will be exposed sooner or later, so why bother? Is it not good to be honest? China's oil paintings combine elements of China's traditional paintings, which is normal for foreigners not to accept. What we should really do is to find ways to eliminate this difference and make China's oil paintings go abroad.
