A Study of Chinese and Western Landscape Painting from the Comparative Perspective

Abstract

In modern times, with the improvement of the research system of comparative art in China and the increasing cultural exchange between China and the West, the study of Chinese and Western landscape painting from a comparative perspective has become a hot topic. Traditional Chinese landscape painting focuses on charm and skills of works, while Western landscape painting has always emphasized realism and the expression of color space. The study and exploration of these two painting styles can help increase understanding of two different cultures. This article aims to compare the artistic characteristics and aesthetic pursuits of two types of landscape paintings, and explore their influence on contemporary art, using the research premise of "comparative perspective” and the collection of literature materials, as well as the appreciation and research of actual works.
