Question 3.
In what way is the participation of the viewer both physical and mental when he looks at a Chinese painting?
Answers
Answer:
The Chinese view of art is quite different from the European view. The Chinese artist does not paint a landscape from one point of view only. He writes to the viewer to participate in his landscape both physically and mentally. This mens that the viewer can enter the painting, not physically but mentally and spiritually. The participation in the Chinese paintings is not from a single point but from various points. The artist does not want you to borrow his eyes but he wants you to enter wholly through his mind. He creates a path for the viewer to travel it up and down and then back again. This requires the active participation on the part of the viewer who has to decide himself at what pace, he would travel through the painting —this participation is both physical and mental.
