The Chinese way of appreciating a painting is often expressed by the words du hua," to read a painting." How does one do that? Because art is a visual lanuage, words alone cannot adequately convey its expressive dimension. How to read Chinese Paintings seeks to visually analyze thirty-six paintings and calligraphies from the encyclopedic collection of the Metripolitan Museum of Art in order to elucidate what makes each a masterpiece.
Maxwell K. Hearn's elegantly erudite yet readable text discusses each work in depth, considering multiple layers of meaning. Style, technique, symbolism, past traditions, historical events, and the artist's personal circumstances all come into play.

为了写几段山水画的评论在这本书里收获了很优美的英语写作！书里的画和文字基本在The Met的网站里都有，网站上还有很多音频可以听。
