This Land Is So Rich in Beauty 2
Considering the expressionist style of Zeng’s work, the viewer seems to feel violent tension. His landscapes are some of his best work, and while painting them he uses two separate brushes. In doing so, one brush demonstrates the purpose of what he is painting, and the other is “leaving traces of his subconscious through processes.” This causes his landscapes to not only have a real feel to them, but also an abstract sense of expression.

Famous quotes containing the words land, rich and/or beauty:
“I have observed the misery of my people who are in Egypt; I have heard their cry on account of their taskmasters. Indeed, I know their sufferings, and I have come down to deliver them from the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the country of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 3:7,8.
“Pity is not your forte.
Calmly you ache up there
pinned aloft in your crow’s nest,
my speechless pirate!”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“The beauty of the internal nature cannot be so far concealed by its accidental vesture, but that the spirit of its form shall communicate itself to the very disguise and indicate the shape it hides from the manner in which it is worn. A majestic form and graceful motions will express themselves through the most barbarous and tasteless costume.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
