To explain the beautiful and artistic Chinese art is, Mr. Francis Wu, world famous Hong Kong Chinese photographer, in the course of the bilingual lecture on “Pictorial Photography In A Chinese Point Of View” delivered before a large audience at the Hui Aun Association yesterday traced the origin of the Chinese characters.
Before calling upon Mr. Wu to speak, Mr. Chan Eng Hock introduced the speaker, and also thanked the audience for their presence.
Giving examples of how Chinese characters are formed which have a bearing on Chinese photographic composition of a picture, Mr. Wu wrote the word “tree” in Chinese which is a picture word resembling a tree.
Then adding to the word a similar character, a new combination become forest. When a third similar outline is added to the two-character combination, the word in Chinese means a “Jungle”
Mr. Wu in his lecture also dealt with the difference between Chinese and Western perspective in art. He also gave pointers as to how to compose artistic pictures in the photographic art.
He said that his object is to promote Chinese art with photography and also to encourage the understanding of Chinese art in the Western world
