Ink And Wash Art In The Times Of The Changed App Raciaton Of The Beautiful

1. The tradition we are facingChinese ink and wash art is distinctive, not only because its medium is unique, but also because it is a kind of observation and appreciation, different from the western, which can arouse different culture association from the Chinese. Pi Daojian holds the idea that the abstract art in the form of ink and wash can be the manifestation of the present feelings, as "Cheng huai guan dao"(it means observing the native with clarified mind), coming from the traditional Chinese ink and wash, has the culture function to completely absorb the present experience and broaden the horizons. Therefore, we can find that, for the Chinese current culture, the significance of this art lies in its modernity, that is, it have the distinctiveness and the possibility to express the current cultural life.II. Modem ink and washDifferent from the previous movements about how to 'remould' the traditional Chinese painting and 'bring forth new ideas', modern ink and wash is an ideological trend which, in normal sense, doesn't carry on, change or stop Chinese painting's traditional word order and sense order; meanwhile, which also doesn't use the form of the westem modernism's vocabulary to seek and expect their understanding. This trend never involves in the disputes related to difference between oriental culture and western culture. However, it is a kind of local natural refection while both the central culture structure and the border one are disintegrating in the world. In another word, it is a way for the local culture of the third world to resist the authority of the western culture when the world cultural environment is later colonialism or later cold war.III. Enlightenment of modern ink and washModern ink and wash has derived a lot of valuable things, such as structure, color, veins, join and pinup and concepts. But the most important one is modern ink and wash painters have a sober realization that they are living in a new age when china is modernizing rapidly and the global economy, politics and culture are integrating day by day to create a new industrialized, scientific and technical and informational time. Now the dilemma of modem ink and wash is it not only must keep the ink and wash image of Chinese identity, but also must melt itself into the current lives as not to be the "outsider" during the Chinese modernization. Facing the world, it is necessary to adhere to the culture identity of Chinese art; facing china, it is necessary to make this art to be the symbol of the modern spirit.
