I did not get good education on how to appreciate Chinese paintings, therefore, I am more inclined to visit oil painting galleries than those showcasing Chinese traditional paintings. However, I am very interested on one modern Chinese master - SONG Yügui 宋雨桂. I had the pleasure of meeting him when he and my father worked in the same office - Culture and Art Creation Office of Liaoning Province in the 1970s. It was a shame that I didn't learn to appreciate his art till much later and declined his offer to be my teacher. Thanks to the internet, though I won't be able to attend Christie's auctions, I can still appreciate his art now.
