Chinese landscape painting

Many critics consider landscape painting to be the highest form of Chinese art, and it is the most popular form to display Chinese culture to the west.

Many western filmmakers therefore choose to launch film posters set against the backdrop of Chinese landscape painting, capturing a sense of elegance and oriental beauty.

Chinese landscape painting, or shanshui, literally refers to a style of traditional Chinese painting that involves or depicts scenery or natural landscapes, using brushes and ink rather than more conventional paints. Mountains, rivers and waterfalls feature regularly in this art form.
