西方艺术，形式上之构成倾于客观一方面，常常因为形式之过于发达而缺少情绪之表现把自身变成机械，把艺术变成印刷物。如近代古典派及自然主义末流的衰败，原因都是如此，东方艺术，形式上之构成，倾于主观一方面。常常因为形式过于不发达，反而不能表现情绪上之所需求，把艺术陷于无聊时消倦的戏笔，因此竟使艺术在社会上失去其相当的地位（如中国现代）。其实西方艺术上之所短，正是西方艺术之所长。东方艺术之所短，正是西方艺术之所长。短长相补，世界新艺术之产生，正在目前，惟视吾人努力之方針耳。

我们把过去的事实以历史的观念统整之，不难测艺术前途之倾向，埃及希腊文艺复兴时代以及中国唐宋诸代艺术，能丰富而且伟大，其原因固是很多，但主要问题，还是在艺术自身，是否有丰富与伟大的可能，然后加以环境上相当的机会，才有伟大丰富事实上之发现，艺术是以情绪为发动之根本原素，但需要相当的方法来表现此种情绪的形式，形式之构成，不能不经过一度理性之思考，以经验而完成之，艺术伟大时代都是情绪与理性调和的时代。

中国现代艺术，因构成之方法不发达，结果不能自由表现情绪上之希求；因此当极力输入由方之所长，而期形式上之发达，调和吾人内部情绪上的需求，而实现中国艺术之复兴。一方面输入西方艺术根本上之方法，以历史观念而实行具体的介紹，一方面整理中国旧有之艺术，以贡献于世界。

Western art tends to lean towards objectivity in its formal composition. Sometimes, due to an excessive focus on form, it lacks the expression of emotions, risking turning itself into a mechanical process and art into a printed matter. This is evident in the decline of modern classical and naturalistic styles. On the other hand, Eastern art tends to lean towards subjectivity in its formal composition. Often, because the form is underdeveloped, it fails to express the required emotions, trapping art in the realm of tedious and uninspiring strokes. As a result, art loses its rightful place in society, as seen in contemporary China. In reality, the weaknesses of Western art lie in its strengths, and vice versa for Eastern art. By complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses, the emergence of a new global art is currently underway, dependent on our concerted efforts.

When we consolidate past facts with a historical perspective, it is not difficult to discern the trends in the future of art. The richness and greatness of Egyptian, Greek, Renaissance, and Chinese Tang-Song dynasty arts are attributed to various factors, but the fundamental question lies within art itself — whether it has the potential for richness and greatness. This requires the synthesis of emotions and rationality, a harmonious coexistence that defines great artistic eras.

In contemporary Chinese art, the underdeveloped methods of composition hinder the free expression of emotional aspirations. To revitalize Chinese art, there is a call to integrate the strengths of the West, emphasizing the development of form to harmonize internal emotional needs. This involves importing fundamental Western artistic methods, introducing them with a historical perspective, while simultaneously reevaluating traditional Chinese art to contribute to the world.
