20.500.12556/RUL-156112 In defence of subjectivity and autonomy Shitao’s aesthetic theory and his critique of the mainstream school of painting in the Early Qing Dynasty V bran subjektivnosti in avtonomiji Shitaova estetska teorija in njegova kritika prevladujoče struje slikarstva v zgodnji dinastiji Qing The article explores the aesthetic theory of Shitao, an early Qing dynasty painter who belonged to the Individualist school of painting which advocated painting from subjective experience of life and learning from the Dao, thus following the aesthetic tradition of literati landscape painters. Shitao composed his own theory of painting and aesthetics in the work The Remarks on Painting (Huayulu 畫語錄), which was the result of his artistic practice and philosophical reflections collected throughout his life. The article delves into Shitao’s critique of the Traditionalist school of painting which prevailed in his time as the mainstream painting style, advocating imitation and repetition of the old masters. For Shitao and other Individualist painters, such an approach and attitude towards art led to creative stagnation and a departure from the aesthetic ideals of classical landscape paint-ing. With their artistic and theoretical intervention, however, they managed to preserve, upgrade and bring to life new perspectives in artistic production and aesthetic theories. This paper presents Shitao’s defence of subjectivity as a vital catalyst for the rejuvenation of artistic perspectives and the restoration of Chinese art, thus providing an invaluable contribution to the discourse on artistic creativity and subjectivity. aesthetics Shitao Holistic brushstroke subjectivity Traditionalist school of painting Individualist school of painting estetika Shitao Holistična poteza čopiča subjektivnost tradicionalna struja slikarstva individualistična struja slikarstva true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2024-05-08 15:04:16 2024-05-08 15:04:21 2024-05-09 03:52:45 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 145-169 iss. 2 Vol. 12 (28) 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2024-01-01 1(510) 2232-5131 10.4312/as.2024.12.2.145-169 194797827 Sernelj.pdf Sernelj.pdf 1 E31CC344A24FD6A41AEE0D848FE2BE28 f85e1f742f55011c7780aa8d5e8c54715bb13b347a532ae740ae5a6a444022da b884c759-0d3b-11ef-a389-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=183360 https://journals.uni-lj.si/as/article/view/16517/15587 1 7cce7b22-0d3b-11ef-a389-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=183359 Filozofska fakulteta Asian studies 0 0 0
