What are the characteristics of Wu Weishan's sculptures?

The characteristics of Wu Weishan's sculpture focus on "freehand brushwork", and his "freehand brushwork sculpture" is superb. Wu Weishan is an outstanding representative of China's freehand brushwork and poetic portrait sculpture. From the perspective of inheritance, I think he must be deeply influenced by Rodin, plus his love and understanding of China tradition. The combination of the two makes his works have both Rodin's fierceness and vividness and China literati's boldness and unrestrained, forming their own distinctive features and being unique in China sculpture field. Yao Tan, carved by Wu Weishan, can be seen from his forehead, eyebrow arch and nose bridge as a westerner, but he is obviously a completely Chinese monk. His drooping eyelids show his modesty and firmness, which reminds people of his determination not to abandon his vestments and hide in the people during the period when Mao destroyed the Buddha. However, Buddhism gave him a perfect and detached manner, which was also shown by Wu Weishan.
