In the best tradition of the photographic genre in which a photographer observes an artist at work, - we can think of Brassai’s Picasso, Henri Cartier-Bresson’s Matisse, and most recently David Dawson’s Lucian Freud -, Thomas Fuesser, over the last twenty years has been photographing artists such as Ding Yi, Zhang Peili, Feng Mengbo, Wu Shanzhuan, Ai Weiwei, Zhou Tiehai, Zeng Fanzhi, and others.
