Theory of Chinese Painting
In order to achieve perfection the artist must have first spent time in contemplation of the theme to be painted. According to a famous 11th century landscape painter, Kuo Hsi, An artist should identify himself with the landscape and watch it until its significance is revealed to him.
Historically, inspired by Taoism, the love of nature has been inherent within the very soul of the Chinese artist. In times gone by many of the most respected artists would withdraw into some secluded spot where they devoted themselves to the study of philosophy, poetry, painting and calligraphy.
There are six principles of Chinese painting as laid down by Hsien Ho in the 5th Century A.D. which are still the chief criteria used in both Chinese calligraphy and Chinese painting today.
Firstly, the artist must seek and stress the ultimate, essential character of the subject, the horsiness of horses, the humanity of man, and, on a more general level, the quickness of intelligence, the pulse of life, in contrast to brute matter. The artist must strive to bring out the true spirit of the subject in a natural way.
