#4: Shanghainese Interiors

In this series of photos on the yellow wall, we also encounter a rather trendy addition to the household items of the time—TV. Although their screens seemed small back then, and regardless of whether they were black and white or color, they served as a new window for people to understand and imagine the world. Even in the most cramped of rooms, they could carry us away to the boundless world outside. These photos also reveal the classic painting traditions of the Netherlands, the homeland of Robert, with the colors, light, and compositions embodied by Vermeer. This stylistic feature is more prominently and beautifully showcased in his subsequent, equally important series of works, "Chinese Interiors".
