Synopsis

Chinese Aesthetics and Islamic Art
The core concept of Chinese aesthetics is yixiang (3 thinking-image) rather than beauty, which is one of the most enduring and controversial themes in European aesthetics. Making yixiang and related yijing (ts mindscape) is the highest pursuit of Chinese art. The art that focuses on yixiang and yijing is called xievi (5 f significantly writing).
Different from the pursuit of likeness in representational art and unlikeness in expressive art, xieyi art pursues "the in-between of likeness and unlikeness." Some similarities or relationship can be founded in Chinese xieyi art and Arabic calligraphy. This lecture will discuss both the
"likeness" and "unlikeness" between the two styles.
