The Aesthetics of Qiyun and Genius
Spirit Consonance in Chinese Landscape Painting and Some Kantian Echoes
This book discusses qiyun aesthetics in Chinese painting formulated by leading sixth to fourteenth-century intellectual elite. In light of Kant's account of artistic genius, it considers the role of the mind in creating a painting replete with qiyun, thereby both demystifying qiyun aesthetics and illuminating some limitations in Kant's aesthetics.
