Chinese Art ::
is art that, whether modern or ancient, originated in or is
practiced in China or by Chinese artists or performers. Early
so-called "stone age art" dates back to 10,000 BC, mostly consisting
of simple pottery and sculptures. This early period was followed by
a series of art dynasties, most of which lasted several hundred
years. The art of Taiwan and that of Chinese Emigrants can also be
considered part of Chinese art where it is based in or draws on the
heritage of Chinese art. Buddhism arrived in China around the 1st
century AD (although there are some traditions about a monk visiting
China during Asoka's reign), and through to the 8th century it
became very active and creative in the development of Buddhist art,
particularly in the area of statuary. Receiving this distant
religion, China soon incorporated strong Chinese traits in its
artistic expression. In the fifth to sixth century the Northern
Dynasties, rather removed from the original sources of inspiration,
tended to develop rather symbolic and abstract modes of
representation, with schematic lines. Their style is also said to be
solemn and majestic. The lack of corporeality of this art, and its
distance from the original Buddhist objective of expressing the pure
ideal of enlightenment in an accessible, realistic manner,
progressively led to a research towards more naturalism and realism,
leading to the expression of Tang Buddhist art. Chinese art works of
art produced in the vast geographical region of China. It the oldest
art in the world and has its origins in remote antiquity. Early
Periods: Neolithic cultures produced many artifacts such as painted
pottery, bone tools and ornaments, and jade carvings of a
sophisticated design. Excavations at B'ei-li-kang near Luo-yang date
materials found at that site to 6000-5000 BC An excavation in the
early 1970s of the royal tomb of Shih-huang Ti revealed an array of
funerary terra-cotta images. In Henan, the village of Yang-shao gave
its name to a culture that flourished from 5000 to 3000 BC Ban-p'o
pottery wares were handmade and the area produced a polished red
ware that was painted in black with designs of swirling spirals and
geometric designs, sometimes with human faces. Later, at Ma-jia-yao
in Gansu, brush-painted pottery became more sophisticated in the
handling of the design. Knowledge of ancient Chinese art is limited
largely to works in pottery, bronze, bone, and jade. |
