Give comparison between a Chinese painter and a Western painter.

Answer»

The European painter wants the viewer to borrow his eyes and look at a particular landscape exactly as he saw it, from a specific angle. While the Chinese painter does not choose a single viewpoint. His landscape is not a ‘real’ one and a viewer can enter it from any point, then travel in it. The Chinese artist creates a path for a viewer’s eyes to travel up and down, then back again, in a leisurely movement. The Chinese painter does not want a viewer to borrow his eyes; he wants a viewer to enter his mind. The landscape is an inner one, a spiritual and conceptual space.
