Part two is a great exploration in the concept of "counterfeit paintings" in the west and "临摹” in Chinese culture! It's a beautiful painting, and now, you've shared it with the world! Thank you Andrew. 😊

Hi Todd. I have learned a lot in this conversation. And like Hugh Moss and his "Li Keran," mine might just be all the more special as a result!

Such an interesting discussion of “fake” art, how this Chinese philosophical prospective is in contrast with Western materialistic attitudes . . .

Hi Hal. Yes, looking more broadly at art than simply art as object.

This is a fascinating article where by a "fake" painting developed new depth by the addition of comments from the artist whom the fake as emulating. As you say, its a tradition to riff of other's works, in painting or poetry, by saying "in the tradition of" - this one didn't do that. The Daoist philosophy at the end adds another layer to this. thank you for this very thoughtful post. :)
