How a contemporary Chinese painter interprets the vision of El Greco
In short: In this episode of The Artist Project, Chinese painter Zhang Xiaogang explores the intersection of personal perspective and historical masterpieces by responding to El Greco's 'The Vision of Saint John'.
Born in 1958, Zhang Xiaogang reflects on the idea that art must serve as an expression of an individual's internal world and unique point of view. Through his dialogue with El Greco's work in The Met's collection, he examines how artists translate their inner lives onto the canvas.
