Question

) “These two stories illustrate what each form of art is trying to achieve.” What two stories are referred to and what do they illustrate? (Landscape of the Soul)

Answer 1

These two stories, one about China and the other about Flanders, illustrate what each of these forms of art is trying to achieve. The Flanders form illustrates a perfect, illusionistic likeness, while the Chinese form illustrates the essence of inner life and spirit.

Answer 2

In Europe, an artist wants the viewer to see a real viewpoint by borrowing his eyes. The art must be perfect and must be illusion likeness. Whereas, in China, the artist doesn’t paint a real one but uses his inner and spiritual voice to create an abstract piece. The viewer can enter the painting from any point and can travel according to his own imagination. The artist wants the viewer to enter his mind and create a path of its own.
