Abstract

The concept and essence of “desolate beauty,” the unique aesthetic category in the philosophy of Chinese painting and calligraphy art, is defined and discussed in this paper. It is pointed out that the desolate beauty of Chinese painting and calligraphy is the result of the spiritualization of the natural imagery featuring “desolation” with the elevation to the aesthetic level. The state of desolation liberates and settles the artists’ hearts, allowing them to realize the profound meaning of life from the vast universe. From both the physical level of “formal space-time” and the spiritual level of “ontological space-time,” the space-time dimension of the desolate beauty of Chinese painting and calligraphy art is explained. Then this paper further analyzes and summarizes the space-time oneness and interactivity, formality and infinity, and transcendence under “space-time vision,” as demonstrated by the desolate beauty based on the cultural background of Taoism and Buddhism. The aesthetic value and significance of the space-time view of the desolate beauty are also discussed.
