Chinese Painting
Chinese painting, another flower of Chinese
culture, is distinguished by a spirit and an atmosphere all of its own,
entirely different from Western painting.
Chinese painting shows a certain economy of
material marked by the many blank spaces, an idea of composition determined by
its own harmony and marked by a certain rhythmic vitality and a boldness and freedom
of the brush, which impress the onlooker in an unforgettable manner.
Painting and calligraphy are closely arts
in China. The best way of understanding Chinese painting is to study these influences,
which went into the building of that peculiar tradition.
Even though Chinese painting date back to
the New Stone Age about 6,000 years ago, Western art exerts a subtle influence
on Chinese painting technically and spiritually today.
