Julien The Great Image Has No Form, or Through Painting — to the Non-Object

Julien The Great Image Has No Form, or Through Painting — to the Non-Object

The book of the outstanding French sinologist François Jullien, professor of philosophy at Sorbonne and director of the Institute of Marseille Grane, presents a comparative analysis of European and Chinese painting.
According to the author, Chinese painting is a genuine philosophy... of life that, unlike European art, does not strive for objectivity and does not wish to be an open "window to the world," intended for a single true point of view.
The lack of form in the great images of Chinese art signifies a continuous movement and the flowing of forms into each other, erasing clear outlines of things and leveling the boundary between the seeing eye and the world.
