Chinese painting employs scattered perspective, while Western painting uses linear perspective, which is the fundamental difference between Eastern and Western painting. In the late 20th century, Western art moved from classicism to impressionism and then to the emergence of abstract painting, leading to the disintegration of the Western painting system and the creation of many works influenced by Eastern spirituality. For example, Picasso's famous "Guernica" uses scattered perspective, and artists like Miró and Chagall also frequently employ this method. This demonstrates that Eastern painting has provided many pathways for the development of Western painting. Similarly, modern Chinese painting not only learned from Western methods but also introduced a new genre—oil painting. If Chinese people have learned from Western painting, it is more accurate to say they have adopted Western perspective methods. Look at how even the earliest sketches by students and later thematic creations all utilize this method. This book is divided into two parts: Ink Wash and Color, collecting dozens of critiques on Eastern and Western painters and famous artworks. The reviews are precise, and the analyses are thorough, making it worth reading.
