This painting was born at least 83 years ago.
Since the author Louis Wayne died in 1939.
The story of this painter is long and tortuous,
It is possible to watch the movie starring "Curly Fuku"
"The Passionate Life of Louis Wayne" is understood.
But, going back to this painting, you will see,
In the painter's time,
A high-society woman holding a book,
Take a newspaper and read,
As common as knitting wool —
Ignore the two idle gentlemen for a moment.

It's a simple sketch,
The creator is Max Lieberman,
He probably just drew it haphazardly
A picture seen with your own eyes.
But this scene from a hundred years ago,
It can also make modern people feel extremely familiar.
Adults are guiding children to read a book —
Parents nowadays may rarely read quietly,
But it does not prevent them from telling bedtime stories to children,
Children learn to read on their own and begin to grow up.

Here are three paintings with books in them.
Three painters from the 1880s,
William Bonnell, Jonas Welch Holman
and Amy Phillips.
Obviously, they are far from being compared
Picasso, leonardo da Vinci, Van Gogh and other such people are famous.
However, as you can see from the painting,
Once upon a time, books, newspapers, and even dictionaries,
It's all hard to pose or lack equipment.
Because reading is not just a hobby,
It's still a life, an identity, a dignity.
In the past,
Exquisite painting skills can retain the moment of reality.
In the present moment,
Ordinary mobile phones can take realistic photos.

About "Read the New Tinder"
Launched in 2021 by Southern Weekly, the "New Tinder for Reading" public welfare campaign aims to ignite the interest of more educators and younger generations in reading through diversified promotion of reading. In the past year, through the free opening of more than 20,000 newspaper subscriptions throughout the year, campus public lectures, teachers and students, reading education open classes and other initiatives, the event covered more than 8,000 schools across the country, linked more than 20,000 Language teachers, and led more than 2 million middle school students to devote themselves to deep reading.
On April 21, 2022, the "Reading New Tinder" public welfare action set sail again, mainly for secondary school Chinese teachers across the country to open 20,000 copies of the "Southern Weekend" newspaper for free subscription throughout the year (Southern Weekend App search "Reading New Tinder" registration), in addition to launching a series of sub-activities such as photography challenge activities and essays for middle school students, to help promote reading in an all-round way.
