Art in Asia

And here your subtitle.

Chinese Art
China is at the forefront of economic development. Its booming economy has led to its
modernization.

In addition, history shows that China has been at the leading edge of development especially in
terms of culture development. Inhabitants of China in the past were able to produce primitive
artisan works.

Most paintings were done in monumental styles wherein rocks and

mountains served as a barrier that made the viewer distracted initially
from the main subject of the work. Rounded forms rise in a way that it
flows from the background into the foreground. Artists also used sharp
brushstrokes to provide detail in their works. Western landscapes
usually had a single vanishing point while Chinese paintings had the
opposite since most paintings aimed to give the audience a multiple
perspectives on the subject.
 Porcelain is one of the commonly used items to make
decorative ornaments, such as vases and jars. Some
artifacts from excavation sites show intricate works of the
Chinese in their porcelain vases. This can be attributed to
the tradition of passing down the artistry from generation
to the next. Just like most Chinese artwork, the focal point
in these vases depicts a central theme: nature. They
believe that man is an integral part of nature ensuring that
there is a certain balance in it. But part of their culture is
emphasizing a form of social life, giving importance to
communities and interactions among people.
●In addition, some of the common overarching themes of Chinese artworks
include everyday activities, war and violence, death and nature. It can also be
noted that Chinese artworks are infused with a lot of symbolisms. Art becomes an
avenue for the artist to convey his reflection of the things he is aware of.

The native religion of Japan is Shintoism. Although, this

religion subscribes to beliefs such as being one with nature and
embracing the notion of the existence of many Gods, it did not
use art to communicate its beliefs
 Did you know?
● The Japanese style of painting leaned toward abstract and
naturalistic handling. In essence, the artist is given the free reign for his
work, which had more room for spontaneity and individuality. Many artists
focused on individual portraits, elements of nature and scenes from everyday
life in creating their artworks. Although the Chinese influenced them, the
Japanese adapted a more minimalist take on their paintings. This is a stark
contrast with the extravagant and sometimes over the top designs of the
Chinese. The Japanese also developed a kind of painting called the Ukiyo-e
paintings. An example would be the woodcuts of Hiroshige and Sharaku who
had a lasting impact on Western artists like Vincent van Gogh and Edouard
Manet.
