1st or Australian ed. Paperback quarto, very good condition, black & white drawings, minor edgewear. 63 pp. Australian artist Audrey Quigley provides a complete practical course for beginners in the ancient art of traditional Southern-school Chinese landscape painting with ink and brush. The beginnings of Chinese painting evolved even before the art of calligraphy. At least 6,000 to 12,000 years ago, artists painted in decorative symbols depicting people and nature. The symbols were gradually expanded so that they could be used for communication as well. The two art forms - painting and calligraphy - are linked together as Chinese painting contains visible forms with an underlying philosophical concept. First edition. Seller Inventory # 25470
