documents: #Person1#: The art critic from the daily chronicle doesn't think much of the max oreo exhibition. He says that the artwork is uninspiring and old fashioned.
  #Person2#: Really? I thought the exhibition showed that he had real talent. What did you think of it?
  #Person1#: I liked it. I didn't think his works were masterpieces, but the certainly weren't uninspiring, in my opinion.
  #Person2#: I don't think I'Ve ever read a good review of an exhibition by that critic. He doesn't seem to like anything. Which kinds of paintings do you prefer?
  #Person1#: I like landscapes and still life. You prefer abstract paintings, don't you?
  #Person2#: Yes, I do. I like painters who use will rather than watercolors. The colors appear richer. What do you think?
  #Person1#: I agree. I prefer oils too. I collect landscapes, but I only have a small collection. You have a small collection of abstract art, don't you?
  #Person2#: Yes. Good artwork is very expensive nowadays. When I was in china, I bought some calligraphy by famous artists. You should come and see it sometime.
  #Person1#: That would be nice. Can you read the characters?
  #Person2#: I know what the characters on the paintings mean. I think Chinese characters look very artistic. It's said that the way they are written can give insight into the artist's character.
  #Person1#: I think that's true with any of the fine arts.
