The vicissitudes of the world, the obscurity of the Tang Dynasty;

As far as the eye can see, there is light.

("I think a man's art is as far-reaching as his love.") Other than this, I don't see any other reason to paint. If there's anything I can give, it's my emotional contact with where I live and the people I live in. ”）

Andrew Wise, the most recognized realist painter of the 20th century in the United States, created images full of the mystery of the real world, thus challenging the traditional conception of reality. Wise painted scenes, landscapes, and portraits of his daily life in rural pennsylvania and Maine, with very fine details, using watercolor and tempera paints instead of more typical oil paintings or acrylic paints. Although Wise was known for his realist paintings, his work often carried an uncanny feel, which led some critics to call him a painter of magic realism. Wise has always refused to change his style and continues to paint his country life. Later, he became a legendary figure in the United States and a touchstone for young painters who returned to realism to explore the various problems facing society today.
