"The path for Chinese painting lies neither in total Westernization nor in a complete return to antiquity," Ou Hao-nien, whose works are displayed in several firstrate world museums, concludes. "Only paintings that combine the national character and the traditional spirit with a feeling for the times can win respect and honor for Chinese painting."
「中國畫的出路，絕對不在全盤西化、或是完全復古」，畫作已被多所世界一流博物館典藏的歐豪年肯定地說，「只有兼具民族風格、傳統精神與時代感的畫，才能為中國畫贏取尊嚴。」
