Three major trends are evident in Chinese ink painting: academic reformism, modernism and neo-traditionalism. While reformists are calling for stylistic freedom and a return to humanism, modernists seek the adoption of Western modes of thought and practice to develop and reform Chinese tradition. The new literati painting which has seen a resurgence of innovative theory and technique of an indigenous Chinese painting tradition distinguishes neo-traditionalism. Many scholars believe that developments in Chinese painting represent a decline in the history of Chinese art but, in this authors’ opinion, this has been a period of transformation in aesthetic conception and expression. Chinese ink painting, which is still the dominant stream in twentieth century Chinese art and a continuation of its development, can be seen in the work of many contemporary artists. It is more than likely that the pluralism in contemporary Chinese art discussed in this thesis will continue although the forms it takes will to some extent be determined by political and economic factors. It is unlikely that contemporary Chinese art will totally reject the established cultural and aesthetic systems and establish a new one, based on the Western system. The traditions of Chinese culture remain strong, and it appears much more probable that an internal ‘re-shaping’ of both indigenous and imported elements will result in an artistic tradition that remains distinctively ‘Chinese’ as well as contemporary / Master of Arts (Hons)

A presente pesquisa trata da formação da teoria da pintura durante o período das Seis Dinastias, que ocupa o período que vai do ano 229 ao ano 589 da era presente. São discutidos quatro teóricos principais: Gu Kaizhi, Zong Bing, Wang Wei e Xie He. Além disto, apresentamos uma tradução diretamente do chinês para os textos de cada um dos autores analisados. No decorrer de nossa análise tentaremos demonstrar os elos de continuidade existentes entre os diversos teóricos, baseando-nos nas evidências textuais. Além disto, enfatizaremos o fato de ser este o período em que se forma a teoria da pintura chinesa. O período inicial da história dessa teoria é o tema desta pesquisa / This research describes the development of the theory of painting during the Six Dynasties, which occupies the period from the 229 to 589 of the present era. We discuss four main theories: Gu Kaizhi, Zong Bing, Wang Wei and Xie He. Moreover, we present a direct translation from Chinese into the texts of each author studied. Throughout our analysis we will try to demonstrate the links of continuity between the various theorists, basing ourselves on the textual evidence. Moreover, we emphasize the fact that this is the period that forms a theory of Chinese painting. The initial period of the history of this theory is the subject of this research
