Calligraphy rarely occurs in oil paintings and is dealt with in the brushwork entry, Korean calligraphy.

Famous quotes containing the word painting:
“The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.”
—Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)
