Some background information:
Chinese paintings have an air of living nature，harmony and peace that is not always found in the art of other civilizations. It is entirely different from Western painting，but that difference is hard to grasp and express. The following are some different forms of art：
Figure painting：It includes portraits，story painting and genre painting(风俗画)with figures as the main subject. Lines are the key point.
Landscape painting：Chinese landscape paintings can be divided into blue－and －green landscape，gold－and－green landscape，light－purple－red landscape and water ink landscape according to the colors used in paintings. The one without outlines is called boneless landscape.
Flower and bird painting：Flowers，rocks and birds are usually the main subjects of this kind of paintings. Technically，there are detailed style with colors and free style with ink.
Court painting：It refers to the works done by those professional painters employed by the royal court，or imitations of their works by other painters.
Some western painters:
Leonardo da Vinci was born in 1452 in the village of Vinci. Leonardo began his career working for a master painter in Florence. His masterpiece is Mona Lisa. Leonardo was truly a “Renaissance Man” skilled in many fields. He was a scientist and an inventor as well as an artist. He made notes and drawings of everything he saw. Leonardo invented clever machines，and even designed imitation wings that he hoped would let a person fly like a bird.
Giotto 乔托(1267-1337) was recognized as the first genius of art in the Italian Renaissance. He painted religious scenes in a more realistic style.
Van Gogh凡高(1853-1890)was a Dutch painter who went to live in southern France and helped to develop the style of Post-impressionism. His paintings typically use bright colors and have thick lines .one of the most famous ones is Sunflowers .He is also known for being mentally ill and for cutting off one of his ears and later killing
himself. Poor as he was during his life, his paintings are now extremely valuable and sold at very high prices.
Claude Monet克劳德·莫奈(1840-1926) influenced the development of impressionism. He painted everyday objects. Monet had a fascination with light and that led him to not only paint this picture, but also several others showing the same effect on different objects.
Pablo Picasso毕加索(1881-1973) Spanish artist. One of the most prolific and influential artists of the 20th century, Picasso excelled in painting, sculpture, etching, stage design, and ceramics. With Georges Braque he launched cubism (1906-1925), and he introduced the technique of collage. Among Picasso's masterpieces are Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) and Guernica (1937).
