Perico Pastor: 

In my view, there are two differences between Chinese and Western art. The history of Western art is like an arrow, and Western artists have followed the path of the arrow for the past 4,000 years. Although there were ups and downs, for instance, its decline during the Middle Ages and its return to form during the Renaissance period. Then Roman mythology from 2,000 years ago, with the story of Prometheus, contributed to important artistic trends in the West during the 19th century. Since then Western painters started to use more impressionistic techniques rather than depicting things as they are. After the Renaissance period, the use of perspective reached its peak. By using different perspectives, artists could show the different aspects of an object by using different lines in a single painting. Impressionists and cubists, for instance, attempted to break down objects and re-integrate them from different perspectives. This demonstrates that, like the arrow, art has always moved forwards, but it has sometimes reached different extremes. At the same time, we have seen the evolution of Cubism and Dadaism through history. We have always been looking for new breakthroughs and different ways of painting, and we are constantly defining the avant-garde.
