24 December, 2012 – The Synthesis of Chinese Landscape Painting and Photography

24 Dec

Traditional Chinese Landscape Painting has endured for almost 1500 years, longer than any genre in Western culture. What perceptual qualities (that we can see for ourselves) lie behind this? How can we adopt these to the medium of digital photography? Looking at the visual structure of paintings began for us as a way to analyze what makes a an image “work,” and it has grown into a fascination with a very different way of seeing – that of the classical Chinese Landscape painters.

George DeWolfe and Lydia Goetze explore this subject in their new essay The Synthesis of Chinese Landscape Painting and Photography.
