Chinese Painting, Paperback / softback Book

Chinese Painting Paperback / softback

Part of the Introductions to Chinese Culture series

Paperback / softback

Description

Traditional Chinese painting was fundamentally an abstract art form.

Artists did not seek to represent direct copies of the natural world; rather, traditional Chinese paintings sought to portray the harmony between the natural world and human emotion, evoking ancient Chinese philosophy.

From ancient scroll paintings to Buddhist grottoes to modern art, Lin Ci explores the history, theory and development of distinctive styles of Chinese painting, illustrated throughout with full color examples of these unique, treasured works of art.
