罗丽教授赋予这部著作的不只是渊博的中国艺术知识,而且有欧洲绘画的风格分析和历史发展的丰富经验。作者不管在何处,只要在可能的情况下,都要在东西方之间作出比较,以阐明意旨,指出中国思想与文化的独特性。这部书的首要目的是向那些在欧洲视觉艺术和美学传统中受过训练的读者介绍中国绘画的基本原理。在这方面,开头必须说这本书是成功的。 Professor Luo Li gave this book not only the profound Chinese art knowledge, but also the rich experience of style analysis and historical development of European painting. Wherever the author is concerned, as far as possible, whenever possible, a comparison must be made between East and West in order to clarify its purpose and indicate the uniqueness of Chinese thought and culture. The primary purpose of this book is to introduce the fundamentals of Chinese painting to those who have been trained in the European visual arts and aesthetic traditions. In this regard, at the beginning, it must be said that the book is successful.
