Stamps showing the Chinese brush painting of the famous persons in early time.
Chinese painting is one of the oldest continuous artistic traditions in the world. The materials used in Chinese painting, brush and ink on paper and silk, have determined its character and development over thousands of years. Derived from calligraphy, it is essentially a linear art, employing brushwork to evoke images and feelings. Once on paper, brushstrokes cannot be erased or corrected, so a painter must have a complete mental concept of the painting before even lifting the brush. Chinese painting is closely related to Zen Buddhist and Taoist ideals of total concentration in the act of the very moment, and harmony between man and nature. |
