    As a federal prisoner, artist Michael Pelletier began painting as a way to lose himself. At least in his mind, art has the power to take him away from the concrete, cold surroundings of his cell, even if just for moments. However, it did not take long for him to see that painting gave him more than an imaginary vacation, but a reason for existing. Art literally saved his life from dissipating through the cracks of the justice system.…

    Art and particularly Western Art is being inspired and is a response to its past or to another culture: there is a continuous inspiration and exchange creating new art movement and works. This habit is quite old and existed even during the Greek archaic period: for exemple the Orientalizing style that from the VIII and VII century BC notable in Corinthian Greek poetry was a direct influence by Middle-Eastern art and style at the time (Cook, R.M., Dupont, P. 1998. East Greek Pottery. London: Routledge.). The “creativity” of this art movement was just the reinterpretation of other art styles.…

    There was a trading of subject matter and techniques between the Chinese and Europeans and while the Chinese in the courts were open to both new subject matter and techniques the Europeans were seemingly only interested in their subject matter. As for the Europeans it was easy for them to just add in the traditional subject matter, while keeping to their techniques, it was a much more trying process for the Chinese court painters to try and bring the European techniques into their more emotionally and spiritually driven painting style. In Xu Yang’s painting, Spring in the Capital (fig. 4) there is an attempt to craft every detail in perspective, but since there is no single vanishing point the piece does not come across as effective. This is especially true since the use of traditional Chinese techniques to render the background and landscaping in the piece are incredibly flat. When comparing this piece to Castiglione’s Auspicious Objects (fig. 3), there is a harsh contrast in the realistic feeling Castiglione presents, compared to subdued color palette and inaccurate perspective seen in Xu’s piece (Barnhart 285).…
