On Chinese Aesthetics of Abstract Expressionism Art

Abstract

In the development trend of modern and contemporary art, abstract expressionism has occupied a decisive position in the history of art since its birth. As a representative art school in the 20th century in the West, it unexpectedly has a very distinctive artistic characteristic of China. In terms of objective environment, the artistic dialogue between China and the West in the 20th century was promoted to the field of metaphysical philosophy. Western artists' interest in oriental art surpassed their superficial understanding of their unique brushwork, and abstract art became the best cultural bridge to communicate between the East and the West. This paper compares the characteristics of Chinese and western artistic thoughts and the characteristics of abstract expressionism art, and explains how it has oriental artistic thoughts on the basis of world outlook.
