Description
The book is a collection of seventeen essays focused not only on the area of Chinese art, particularly landscape painting, but also on other specific topics of this Asian nation. The theme of the life and work of famous Chinese artists occupies a substantial part of Josef Hejzlar's work and also a significant part of this book. During his studies at Peking University, the author had the opportunity to meet many Chinese artists, observe their work, or even create alongside them. Some memories thus serve as a fascinating account of their lives. Equally inspiring is Hejzlar's depiction of his journey along the Silk Road through the Gobi Desert or the gripping descriptions of certain artworks that can literally draw the viewer into their landscapes.
