林风眠在《东西艺术之前途》中说:西方艺术,形式构成倾向于客观一面,常常因为形式过于发达而缺少情绪之表现;东方艺术,形式构成倾向于主观一面,常常因为形式上过于不发达,反而不能表达情绪上之所需求,把艺术陷于无聊时消遣的戏笔,因此竟使艺术在社会上失去相当的地位。 Lin Fengmian said in his book The Future of Eastern and Western Art: Western art tends to be objective in form composition, often lacking in emotional expression due to its overdeveloped form. Formal oriental art tends to be subjective in formal composition, often too undeveloped in form, Instead, they can not express their emotional needs and put art in a dull and playful pen. As a result, art has lost its place in society.
