Dan Ching Chen’s art or literary style come with a simple yet elegant atmosphere; they are also wise and innocent that brought out the unique charisma of the artist. He is one of the most influential artist, writer, and art critic of contemporary art history. During the Cultural Revolution, he self-learned and earned his fame as the “self-learning artist”.

Dan Ching Chen said “I recalled Courbet’s belief in drawing what you see- which meant forming a life style with no content, theme, plot or story.” 

A naked woman with braided hair in《A Model Come From Qingdao》has her head slight tilted towards the corner. Her body reclining on the long bench with her feet crossed. The precision in painting the human body and also a perfect capture of the lights brought out the texture and lines of the skin. The coloring of the long bench, floor and walls embellished the voluptuous body; the artist intentionally emphasized on the beauty of the body.
