Empty and Full (Out of Print)

By Francois Cheng. 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", 158 pages, paperback. Empty and Full: The Language of Chinese Painting uses semiotic analysis and textual explication to reveal the key themes and structures of Chinese aesthetics in the practice of pictorial art. Among the many Chinese writers, poets, and artists whose writings are quoted, Francois Cheng gives special emphasis to a great Ching dynasty theoretician and painter, Shih-Tao. Twenty seven reproductions of the words of Shih-Tao and other masters illustrate the interpretive commentary. Chinese painting could be called "philosophy in action", one of the highest expressions of spirituality.
