Wang Yidong is one of China's finest realist painters. I'm having a "why not?" moment so here's a few examples of his magic. One cannot view these works without doing a double or triple take -"wait..these are not photos?" :)
Enjoy I hope.

The picture of the child has a nice Andrew Wyeth-y feel to it, but the rest seem utterly pointless, like those piano pieces (often heard as encores) which actually have nothing to say but only exist to show the impressiveness of the pianist's skill.
On a different note, my thanks to you again for maintaining this very interesting blog despite all the vicissitudes of circumstance. Hope you have a stress-free and relatively merry holiday season!
Thank you for your holiday wishes Paul, same to you :)
Well I do not see these portraits as pointless at all - but as this is art, arguing or defending any view whatsoever is the only consistently 'pointless' thing ;-)

These are beautiful! Nice that you are adding art on your blog, thank you for introducing me to
this painter Tz.
(post)-Realismo socialista a lo Bouguereau. Para eso francamente me quedo con el original. Por de pronto, una pintura vacua.
Me quedaré solo en mi aprecio por las obras de este artista - y eso está bien conmigo ;)
I'm gonna go ahead and say beautiful. Thumbs up.
