Description
'Chinese Landscape Painting' by Anil de Silva, part of the Art of the World series, explores the development of landscape painting in China and its place within the country’s artistic and philosophical traditions. The book traces the evolution of the genre, examining how Chinese artists used brushwork, ink, composition and the interplay of empty space to evoke mountains, rivers and the natural world. It considers the influence of Daoist and Buddhist thought on landscape art, in which nature often expresses broader ideas about humanity and the universe. Illustrated with examples of Chinese paintings, this volume offers an introduction to a distinctive artistic tradition for readers interested in Asian art and art history.
