"Forum of Xuzhou Museum" Phase 16: Liu Haisu's Painting

      Introduction:

      "Forum of Xuzhou Museum" Phase 16: Liu Haisu's Painting

      Liu Qiu said that he admires the paintings of his father Liu Haisu. It was not about the value, but his father's pursuit of art throughout life. He said, "My father's life is like painting, and for him life is art. He likes painting no matter he is happy or not. When life is difficult, even there is not a bed at home, my father lay on the ground and painted. He has suffered several strokes throughout his life, but the brush in his hand never stops. The paintings and collectibles were donated to the country without leaving a penny to his children, including me. What remained was his eternal pursuit of art." My father always sees life as art.
