I was lucky enough for Professor Mu Jiashan - Director of Asian Pacific Art Institute of America and a Researcher of Chinese National Academy of Arts gave me an opportunity to visit him on June 19, 2014.
Aimed at my questions, he not only gave me a good directions on the orientation of my project, but also, he would be an advisor of my project and publications.
Then he introduced me to Mr. Yang Dongsheng - vice president of Jiangxi Art Publishing House.
We had a good talking and then we had a lunch together.
I am thinking, if say there are 3 milestones on my road of Chinese painting studying, that is:
-- The good directions of Professor Chen Ping - Associate Dean of Chinese Painting School at China Central Academy of Arts on June 18, 2010. It was him helping me make sure Chinese Poetry should be the core of my project, and learned from the tradition was one of the most important method to master the basic skills of Chinese arts.
-- the good directions and supervising of Professor Man Weiqi - Associate Executive Dean of Chinese Painting School at Chinese National Academy of Arts, he is not only the best guider who taught me to learn from the nature while to learn some specific master in Chinese art history, but also, he has been directing and supervising my road walking, and corrected it as soon as he found me going on a wrong road 2011 - 2014. Just in Chinese National Academy of Arts, I have truly gone on a right road and improved day and day...
-- Right Now, it seems like the arrangement of the God, I have met Professor Mu Jiashan, I do feel that maybe this is the third milestone, to help me to know and to see a wider world, to learn something that has combined Western and Eastern with a totally new eyes view and angle...
I do appreciate Professor Mu Jiashan who took some his costful time to meet me and gave me some good directions.
