a Every artist’s wish is to create something that expresses an idea.

No, it can’t. Because “interested” usually indicates a person’s interest in something while “interesting” usually indicates something making a person interested. In sentence (b), the subject is “he”，which refers to a person.

One of my biggest dreams had always been to see the painting Girl with a Pearl Earring, by the Dutch artist, Vermeer. It wasn’t until we went on a trip to The Hague last year that this dream came true! There were lots of people waiting to enter the Mauritshuis. Although my legs were tired from walking around the city, I was determined to see the painting, which is often called the “Mona Lisa of the North”. Nobody is sure
of the identity of the girl in it. And there she was. It was amazing to
be standing in front of her at last! The girl is looking over her
shoulder. Her eyes are wide and her mouth is parted, just as if
she were about to speak. I would love to know what she was
going to say!

2. What other artists are famous for representing war and peace What are their best-known artworks
Since the earliest cave paintings, humans have been exhibiting art on walls. There has always been a connection between artists and their works, their points of view, and the viewers. Bringing artworks together into an exhibition enables all of us to experience the works, to respond to, to enjoy and to connect with them.
Art exhibitions can have many themes, such as a historical period, a location or a trend. Of them all, one everlasting source of inspiration is war and peace. Countless artists have been protesting wars and promoting peace via their works, including Spanish artist Pablo Picasso and Chinese artist Feng Zikai, to name just a couple.

One of my biggest dreams had always been to see the painting Girl with a Pearl Earring, by the Dutch artist, Vermeer. It wasn’t until we went on a trip to The Hague last year that this dream came true! There were lots of people waiting to enter the Mauritshuis. Although my legs were tired from walking around the city, I was determined to see the painting, which is often called the “Mona Lisa of the North”. Nobody is sure
of the identity of the girl in it. And there she was. It was amazing to
be standing in front of her at last! The girl is looking over her
shoulder. Her eyes are wide and her mouth is parted, just as if
she were about to speak. I would love to know what she was
going to say!

1. What else do you know about Pablo Picasso and Feng Zikai
2. What other artists are famous for representing war and peace What are their best-known artworks
Since the earliest cave paintings, humans have been exhibiting art on walls. There has always been a connection between artists and their works, their points of view, and the viewers. Bringing artworks together into an exhibition enables all of us to experience the works, to respond to, to enjoy and to connect with them.
Art exhibitions can have many themes, such as a historical period, a location or a trend. Of them all, one everlasting source of inspiration is war and peace. Countless artists have been protesting wars and promoting peace via their works, including Spanish artist Pablo Picasso and Chinese artist Feng Zikai, to name just a couple.
