Episode 15: The Art of Chinese Painting
The ancient art of Chinese painting is one of the oldest continuous artistic traditions in history. Kate Bryan, former Hong Kong resident and the Fine Art Society’s head of contemporary, travels to China to find out more about this tradition, a journey which coincides with a once-in-a-lifetime exhibition at London’s Victoria & Albert Museum, ‘Masterpieces of Chinese Painting’. In China, Kate learns about the golden age of Chinese landscape and discovers why ink is still favoured over paint. She also learns how the country’s unique aesthetic was heavily influenced by age-old standards of class and politics.
