L’Esprit Du Geste, philosophy and practice of Chinese ink painting (Book) by Robert Faure. In Very Good Condition. Preface by Hachiro Kanno. 2004. 191 pages. Editions du Chêne. French texts.
Robert Faure gives us the fundamental rules for learning Chinese painting and calligraphy tch’an and Japanese sumi-e. Inspired by Zen philosophy, this art, very fashionable today, aims to allow the apprentice calligrapher to see simplicity, to be close to forms and their momentum, landscapes and their light, things and their character.
The calligraphic art of Tch’an and sumi-e are characterized by the unique use of black and white ink, by learning dexterity, ease and speed of the line, of a drawing without retouching or correction, by the art of representation rather suggested than detailed in order to translate the life and energy of each thing. This vision of the simple requiring a clear vision, learning goes through meditation, the mastery of one’s breath and one’s body because to succeed in a painting, the mind must precede the brush. To introduce us to this dual work of the mind and gesture, Robert Faure accompanies us on the inner path necessary to move on to the know-how of the brush. Thanks to a hundred exercises, from the mastery of the simple line to the creation of more elaborate calligraphy and compositions, he accompanies us step by step and helps us find our own way.
