  • "Contemporary artist David Hockney narrates this journey through a masterful 17th-century Chinese scroll by Wang Hui depicting an inspection tour by the Emperor of China in 1689. Hockney acts as a kind of tour guide unfolding the scroll's richly detailed panorama of 17th-century Chinese life. Drawing comparisons with a later scroll in which Western influences are apparent and a canvas by Canaletto, the artist offers a multi-layered discourse on the differences between Eastern and Western perception, the nature of space and narrative, and the metaphysical and ideological implications of the Western "vanishing point" perspective."

  • "Artist David Hockney takes the viewer on a journey through two Chinese scroll paintings and a western painting of the Grand Canal in Venice by the artist Canaletto. The first Chinese scroll, from a private Canadian collection, is 72 feet long and was painted ca. 1698. It depicts a river voyage by the Emperor of China through his domain by barge in 689 A.D. It is painted using traditional Chinese painting techniques and multi-focus perspective. The second Chinese scroll, from the Metropolitan Museum of Art was painted in 1770 and shows the influence of western painting techniques including the same western one-point linear perspective that Canaletto uses in his painting of Venice. Hockney compares and contrasts the two different types of perspective, examines Chinese attitudes to time and space as they are seen in the scroll paintings and theorizes that how we see and depict space conditions how we behave in it."
