Journal Article
The Gift of Distance: Chinese Landscape Painting as a Source of Inspiration
2007
Overview
The history of Chinese painting, like that of its Western counterpart, includes visual artists with transcendental inclinations along with those of much more worldly sensibilities. This focus on animating vitality has produced a pictorial tradition that seems clearly to favor, in landscape especially, an involving connectedness over a separating illusion. Chinese landscape painting is ancient in its origins, and part of what gives the painting spaciousness and lucidity is its confident resting on tradition. Here, Sullivan points out that Chinese landscape painting obviously has its own techniques and conventions to organize space within paintings, and often contains anecdotal elements, making the work of art as a source of inspiration.
