<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JayBee, post: 2710077, member: 9259&quot;]mdlock,</p><p><br /></p><p>Not sure what you mean by &quot;all I can say about that comment is Picasso.&quot; If you are referring to Picasso being &quot;messy&quot; (dully quoted &amp; unquoted) and so that&#039;s something that justifies any of the poor work in this painting that I refered to, I have to disagree. This is not the place to go into a detailed discussion of what makes a Chinese traditional painting good or not so good, or simply bad, but I can add some additional thoughts:</p><p><br /></p><p>Chinese traditional painting obeys very specific rules, when it comes to technique, and the use of brush and ink, composition, etc. There are many aspects that make a painting good. Ink must display the &quot;five colors,&quot; for example. The brush strokes must have a quality to them that one learns to recognize when one is into Chinese traditional painting, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, if you like the painting, you might not care about such minutiae, and that&#039;s perfectly fine. </p><p><br /></p><p>I trust we all here share what we can, as per the knowledge we have, with one single goal in mind: help others and contribute what we may. </p><p><br /></p><p>That said, I stand by my first posting: This one is not a good painting, by Chinese traditional painting standards.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
