LITERATURE
Hunan Fine Arts Publishing House, The Complete Works of Wu
Guanzhong Vol. II, Hunan, China, 2007 (illustrated, p. 243)

I am absolutely not satisfied with just the visually pleasing
effects of pure form. I love the conceptions that inform
paintings. But these conceptions are connected with formal
beauty, and must first be realized in terms of form before
they can be expressed. At the heart of my career as an artist
is using my painter's eye to discover the conception associated
with an image.
