Huang Zhi's "Purple Air Coming from the East"
We all know that Western paintings since the Renaissance emphasized showing the "natural" or authentic side of objects, while rewriting reality from the side. However, since Chinese painting has matured, it has been more focused on the sky and people, reality and imaginary, movement and stillness, and the inside of the painting. The depiction of the chaotic or fuzzy state of the important relationship with the outside of the painting focuses on freehand brushwork. Over the past hundreds of years, as the west wind has moved eastward, the concepts, styles, techniques, and dissemination of Chinese painting have undergone unavoidable changes. Inclusion, tolerance and eclecticism have become the direction of creation at this time and for a long time to come. However, how to face the impact of the strong Western painting trend, and to adhere to the cultural standpoint and value sentiment of national painting while learning from each other's strengths and avoiding weaknesses is not only related to the artist's own honor and loss, but also related to the long-standing and self-contained Chinese painting Whether his blood can survive and whether the excellent traditions can be carried forward is therefore a major practical issue that every serious Chinese artist must not wait to ignore.
