This book is like a feast of world art! Mr. Fu Lei's explanation is really profound and simple. The stories and works of the art masters introduced in the book reminded me of a friend of mine who also studied art and was particularly fascinated by these works. Through this book, I seem to understand her passion. Moreover, the pictures in the book are also very beautiful, which made me feel the charm of art more intuitively.
