Abstract:
The modernity of Chinese painting is a prominent and realistic issue in the course of globalization. Modernity, a world concept, suggests that we ought to absorb beneficial elements of western painting rather than imitate or transplant its external form without consideration, namely, we ought to base our absorption and borrowing of foreign painting on Chinese traditional painting. Therefore, modernity of Chinese painting is an epochal objective phenomenon in the course of encounter and integration with western painting.
