The good earth

As China opens its curtains for the world, it reveals treasures that have remained hidden for too long. One such example might be artist Li Junsheng.
He has spent half his 46 years on earth tapping into its natural resources to create and nurture his very own contribution to the art world - sandstone painting.
First, a word by way of explanation. This writer is a philistine of the first order. Much of the art world, especially paintings, leave me cold - Manet might as well be Monet and as for the Mona Lisa, what's the big deal? (Show me an Annie Liebovitz portrait photo, though, and that's a different story).
