'S'OK.

Chinese art baffles me.

I have a feeling that the Chinese would have appreciated the Parade images (the top ones posted here) better than the Demoiselles D'Avignon anyway. The latter is a huge painting and I don't think it travels much from NYC's Museum of Modern Art.

But I think it's a great idea to expose the Chinese to western abstraction. Even Pollock's drip works were triumphed by the US after WWII as they travelled in Europe, promoting the freedom of American artists (vs. the strangulation of Russian art under Communism).
