  • Unified Style
    8 L a c k i n g a u n i fi e d s t y l e Note: you are reading an excerpt from: James Elkins, “Failure in Twentieth-Century Painting” (unpublished MS) Revised 9.2001 This page was originally posted on: www.jameselkins.com Send all comments to: [email protected] A painter who lacks all style, who is compelled to mimic others, is unoriginal: the subject of Chapter 3. It is a different matter to be unable to find a voice, a manner, or a consistent approach, so that it’s necessary work work by cobbling together different styles. Stylistic mixture was frequently a deliberate strategy in twentieth-century painting, for example in cubist collage, dada, surrealism, pop art, and some postmodernism: but in the majority of cases a lack of unity remains the inevitable sign of beginner’s painting. When a student painter hasn’t found a voice, she will try different things, sampling one and then another, until eventually (hopefully, in graduate school) something emerges that ties the work together, and a unified style emerges—it’s a mysterious accomplishment, one that is not prone to clear analysis.1 Outside the West, lack of unified style is a serious problem, not only because intentionally disunified styles such as surrealism tend to be less popular, but because each artist has to face the problem of bringing their own country’s art into some reapprochement with aspects of Western painting. In this chapter I consider disunified painting in several regions of Asia: China, India, Japan, and the Central Asian Republics.

  • Modernism and Hybridity in the Works of Lin Fengmian (1900–1991)
    Modernism and Hybridity in the Works of Lin Fengmian (1900–1991) Sandy Ng reated during an era of extraordinary social, political, and cultural upheaval, Chinese paintings of the twentieth century were attacked and critically challenged both within CChina and externally. Modern developments in Chinese painting provide us with the means not only to investigate problems of artistic representation and expression, but also to gain insight into some of the intellectual issues pertaining to modern China. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, China’s encounter with the West’s advanced technology led its intellectuals to question the viability of Chinese traditional culture. Since then, Chinese artists have struggled to create works that express the country’s unique cultural characteristics within a global context. Lin Fengmian, one of China’s most important artists, conveys his perceptions of modernism and hybridity through his use of techniques and styles that are seen as originating in what is considered the West. Lin’s use of vibrant colours and his experimentation with composition produce a new kind of Chinese art and demonstrate his commitment to bring Chinese painting into the modern era, where the idea of self- expression is vital. Lin Fengmian was born in 1900 in Guangzhou, in southern China. He started his formal education locally and practised his painting skills throughout his adolescence. In 1919, he went to Shanghai and joined a study programme that allowed him to travel to Europe. Upon arriving in France, he immediately became interested in the modernist paintings of the Fauve movement. 1 In 1926, he returned to China, where he was appointed Director of the Beijing National Art College.

  • Drawing in China Art and Art Education in the Wake of Modern China
    Drawing in China Art and Art Education in the Wake of Modern China Xin Hu Due to its long history, Chinese painting has developed its own forms, contents and techniques. Unique materials, such as rice paper, brush and ink are elements of classical Chinese painting. But Chinese art has always been significantly more than just learn- ing the technique of painting. Worldview, sense of esthetics and a noble personality were always guidelines of art and art education in China. Although Western art and its techniques was known in China as early as the 16th century, there was no systematic application and usage of drawing comparable to academy level up until the beginning of the twentieth century. An early influence of Western art is documented during the Qing dynasty, where Chinese painters became assistants to Western artists in order to learn their painting techniques, for example the concept of perspective. A well-known Western artist was Giuseppe Castiglione (1688–1766). Castiglione was born in Milan, turned Jesuit and spent over 50 years as a court painter and architect for three emperors of the Qing dynasty. He died in Beijing on July 17, 1766. He became well known for his merging of Chinese and Western style in his paintings (» Fig. 1).
