Abstract:
Throughout the world, Chinese culture of painting shows its distinctions as a global culture in time continuation and space extension. The coffin painting of the Northen Wei Dynasty in Guyuan, Ningxia Province, provides precious historical painting materials for iconographic studies in Chinese history of fine arts, while Kilimt the Austrian master of separatist school was famous for his decorative painting. The two belong to different regions, different historical phases and different genres of painting, but they show an intercultural artistic isomorphism in expression of artistic language. Chinese and western cultures of decorative art share aesthetic commonality in varieties of decorative visual languages, including composition of pictures, lines, colours, design, symbol and texture material, which exhibits the iconic identity and dignity of Chinese art of painting in global cultures.
