I am very happy for the public to view the exhibition of Master Claude Monet's water lily paintings and my water lily paintings. Thank you for liking our artworks. Due to being busy at work, I did not attend the exhibition opening on August 14. I was not there and have no idea about the situation there. Furthermore, I am not the organizer. I have no right to provide any information sources, and I did not distribute any information to the news media. According to my understanding, this exhibition is organized by the Art Who's Who Museum of Paintings in Dialogue, and the Art Who's Who Museum of Paintings in Dialogue has loaned the exhibition artworks from the International Art Museum of America. I was not involved in any of the arrangements.

Even though up to now, I still do not know the President or leadership members of the Art Who's Who Museum of Paintings in Dialogue, I am very grateful for the Art Who's Who Museum of Paintings in Dialogue to organize the "Claude Monet and Yuhua Shouzhi Wang: An Exhibition of Water Lily Paintings in Dialogue," enabling the public to have the opportunity to experience the enjoyment of the beauty of art.
