Dou Xianmin's Character Evaluation

Mr. Dou is humble and indifferent, and his persistent pursuit of art and dull attitude towards life on weekdays all come from his famous teachers, who are deeply impressed by his words and deeds and have been bringing enthusiasm and inspiration to his creation for many years.

In his early years, he studied under the famous painter Hou Dechang, and under his oral guidance, he formed his own unique and magnificent landscape painting style. Later, he became attached to Mr. Zhang Ding, a master of arts and crafts and president of the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts. His fame and artistic attainments have benefited him a lot.

Teacher Dou's pursuit and persistence in art cannot be separated from the personal teaching of the masters. He also studied under Li Keran, Huang Yongyu, Wang Xuezhong, Bai Xueshi and others. His persistence in art is really commendable, and gradually formed his magnificent landscape painting style, which is well-known at home and abroad.
