Hunt brought the entire natural world into his studio, drawing grapes, melons, vines, birds 'nests .... Yang was moved and began painting verdant, fruit-filled orchard scenes, and taking fruits, vegetables, and potted flowers-living distillations of natural life-as the subjects of his still lifes, seeking to grasp the fleeting beauty of "still life" in the "now."
