Product Description
Whereas in the West the distinction between fine art and the minor arts is clear enough, in Chinese art the line of demarcation can be debated. The Chinese look on painting as their most expressive art, and all manner of intellectual and poetic ideas were annexed to it. But through its insistence on a perfection achieved through severely limited means, even serious painting could grade, at a less creative level, into mere meticulous copying of great masterpieces or the styles of great masters.
