Abstract
The emergence of perspective science greatly promoted the Renaissance art to reach its peak. After the concept was introduced into China, it was named as the “focus perspective” in order to adapt to the concept of perspective in the West; the traditional way of viewing in Chinese paintings was named as the “scattered perspective” correspondingly. In fact, there is no perspective concept in Chinese painting; artists move their viewpoints in creation. The invention of photography brought the world into the age of images. The human viewpoint is replaced by the camera lens; humans’ consciousness of viewing is also replaced. In the era of image, a group of artists break the pattern of single lens focus viewing, and carry out a variety of attempts in contemporary art combined with the moving viewpoints and the scattered viewing mode in traditional Chinese paintings.
