Lot Essay

'The feelings occasionally by constantly leafing through painting folios and drawing inspiration from nature rapidly brought
about a profound change in his painting, and by about 1985 his painting underwent another change-one that suggested the work
of Modigliani to some people, while his Tibetan scenery seemed to have been conjured up using de Chiricos sense of mystery
and light.'- Zhou Chunya's Yesterdays by Lv Peng
