Lu Tien-yen, head of the Taipei Modern Painters Group and a participant in the Hong Kong show, explains that traditional art is based largely on feeling, and it is easy to appreciate its aesthetic. Modern art, on the other hand, is rational and logical, and the theoretical background to a work is vital.
參加這次聯展的台北畫派會長盧天炎說，傳統繪畫是感觀性的藝術，很容易感受到美感；但現代藝術卻是知性、邏輯性的藝術，理論背景十分重要。
