What makes a painting Chinese is the question this book poses, and is accessible both to readers who are experts in the field and those who are exploring it for the first time.

Under two subdivisions - subject matter and style - brief essays explore theose Chinese concepts of realty that have made Chinese painting "a direct and immediate revelation of the spirit of the people." The reader has the opportunity to apply these principles to actual paintings, to read the language of Chinese panting, and to comprehend the truth of Ch'eng Heng-lo's statement that "western painting is painting of the eye; Chinese painting is painting of the idea ."
