Shitao « L’Unique trait de pinceau »
Fans of films may find Shitao « L’Unique trait de pinceau » especially interesting thanks to its engaging atmosphere, visual presentation, and entertainment value.
Shitao, one of the most skilled painters of his time, was deeply imbued with Buddhist spirituality, as he was forced to take refuge in monasteries from a very young age. His painting relies on the simplicity of line and the pure white of the paper. Here, a mountain landscape is rendered in ink on rice paper mounted on a silk scroll. Beneath the apparent simplicity of the subject unfolds a whole universe of hidden correspondences that one must learn to decipher.
