There is one thing people have all forgotten: most of the reprodution paintings are western style paintings with orders from abroad; few if any are Chinese style paintings. The need for those reproduction paintings is from the west, not from China. Indeed, if you have ever visited an original painting market in China, you would notice that most of the paintings there are of Chinese style. The Chinese painters may paint reproductions for a living. However, they may not be able to find the resonance within them to have enough passion. There is a culture gap. And that's the same reason why real Chinese style paintings never enter the western market.
