The Jingting Mountains in the Fall, Shitao, seventeenth century

In Chinese painting, the human silhouette is lost in the vast landscape. Size is often related to status rather than to the laws of perspective. The painter deciphered nature as he would an ideogram: behind the image’s poetry lies a philosophical choice.

Nearly one century before Cézanne painted his multiple views of Mont Sainte-Victoire, Hokusai (1760–1849) painted thirty-six different views of Mount Fuji. In his own way, one of the most popular of Japanese painters questioned the principle of a unique viewpoint.

As we reach the third millennium—with the West, so-called guardian of science, meeting the East, holder of ancestral values—aesthetic and philosophical convergence is fostering new creative forms.
