Components of Chinese Paintings |
|
Poetry, calligraphy, painting and seal engraving are important components of Chinese paintings that supplement and enrich one another. Chinese often consider a good painting a good poem, and vice versa. Hence we often say there is painting in poetry and poetry in painting. In the past, many great artists were also great poets and the calligraphers. The inscriptions and seal on the paintings not only can help us to understand the painter's ideas and sentiments, but also provide decorative beauty to the painting.
