Thoughts after reading "The Collection of Regression" "The Collection of Regression" is a collection of miscellaneous essays that integrates reviews, interviews, speeches, and memoirs.

The author starts from himself and then slowly expands on his current life and past events. At first glance, I just felt that the language was simple, and I felt like I was listening to an old man talking about his life. But after savoring it carefully, especially when I saw the text at the end, I understood: "The text is mixed and the spirit is not mixed." Every corner of the book expresses the author's inner voice: crying out for regression and fighting against it!

As a returnee artist, Chen Danqing naturally has more to say about art. And when I was reading it, I was most impressed by this point.

The book quotes Gombrich: There is no art, only artists. ?The author was once confused. ?I often wonder, is there really such a thing as ?art history? What is the history of art without this single individual? ?However,?I have been confused by the charm of Velasquez for a long time. In his paintings, only art can be seen, but no artist? What I love more is "presenting art and retiring as an artist". Art is a language, a language that has no national boundaries and needs to be interpreted by the heart. When a true artist faces a work of art, his first reaction is not to ask whose hand it is from, but to think about how he can immerse himself in it and have spiritual communication with the author. Relate to what was mentioned in the preface. People nowadays pay more attention to a kind of label, that is, the signature of a celebrity. What does that mean? Who knows, those famous people hope that someone can understand their hearts and that their souls can merge with each other. It's just a simple thing, but it can really show "regression".

See the big from the small, simple and unadorned. It’s just the charm of Chen Danqing’s words as an artist.

I think I should read "The Sequel to the Collection of Regression" to have a deeper understanding of the meaning of "regression" and try to stop myself from "regressing"!
