The Art of Wu Guanzhong (Speaker: Vincent LEE Kwun-leung)VincentKwunLeungLee
Wu Guanzhong sought for an integration between French Romanticism and Chinese Literati Painting Tradition from both his oil and ink paintings. But, Mao Zedong and the Communist Party disliked his pro-European attempt of Sino-Western aesthetic innovations. Due to the trend of Cultural Revolution, Mao Zedong forced Wu Guanzhong to abandon what he learnt in Paris and re-adapt to the "Leninist School of Realistic Thought". But, Wu Guanzhong refused to do so. Fortunately, the colonial government of Hong Kong under British administration tried all its best to preserve Wu Guanzhong's pieces and ensure him with creative freedoms. Wu Guanzhong could thus explore a great variety of new styles while playing with his moisturized ink leisures, such as Post-Impressionism, Rococo, Abstract Expressionism, Feminism and Minimalism.

It discusses how, with the rise of Islam, visual art developed around notions of beauty and decorum informed by the Quran and Hadith. Calligraphy became a highly important art form, as the script of the Quran was considered a visual manifestation of God's word. The earliest calligraphy styles were Kufic script, which was angular, and Naskhi script, which was cursive. Arabesque design also emerged, featuring abstract, geometrical patterns of vegetation and other non-representational motifs since figurative artwork was forbidden. These styles were widely used in architecture, manuscripts, coins, and other

Overall, the document provides a comprehensive overview of the origins and evolution of different Arabic calligraphy styles.
Islamic art developed unique styles that avoided depicting living forms per religious teachings. Artists used geometric, vegetal, and calligraphic designs to transmit Islamic messages. These included the abstract arabesque style combining floral, calligraphic, and geometric elements into infinite patterns symbolizing God's infinite creation. Islamic art influenced later European styles like Rococo and Baroque through themes reproduced in different media or inspiring novel architectural fashions.
