Waln, Robert. Painters of Canton.
"Chinese painters offend against every rule of perspective, which, with the effects produced by the proper disposition of light and shade, they affect to consider unnatural. Always taking a horizontal view of their subject, they place themselves alternately in front of the objects, whatever may be their position or extent ; thus, in their paintings, houses are placed one on top of another, and the method which they have imagined to express objects at a distance, is to represent clouds intersecting tress, buildings and men. They absurdly contend that it is proper to represent the objects in the back, of the same size as those in the fore ground, because they are so in nature." |
