The Great Image Has No Form, or on the Nonobject Through Painting

The Great Image Has No Form, or on the Nonobject Through Painting

by François Jullien (Author), François Jullien (Author), Jane Marie Todd (Author)

Synopsis

In premodern China, elite painters used imagery not to mirror the world around them, but to evoke unfathomable experience. Considering their art alongside the philosophical traditions that inform it, this book explores the "nonobject" - a notion exemplified by paintings that do not seek to represent observable surroundings.
