A guidebook for deepening the understanding of famous paintings. - Title: How to Read Paintings - ISBN: 978-4-7966-0262-3 - Features: Cover design like a puzzle - Contents: A guide to understanding famous paintings - Condition: Good condition Color plate p.5 Western paintings achieve realistic expression by capturing the reflection of light and the appearance of shadows, whereas ink wash paintings directly depict the existence of things rather than reflecting light. The reason why a screen remarkably similar to ink wash paintings appears when the Baroque paintings, which fell into the paradox of drawing darkness to depict light, are inverted is because of this. Thank you for viewing.
