This research aims to deepen the understanding on _beauty_ according to Lao Tzu (571 B.C.-470 B.C.), as a representative of Chinese philosophy of Beauty, and Heidegger (1889-1976), as a representative of Western philosophy of Beauty. The purpose of this study is to reveal the similarities and differences between these two influential philosophies of beauty by conducting a comparative analysis on series of painting between Zhu Da (1626-1705), the Chinese ancient prominent painter, and Francis Bacon (1909-1992), the Western distinctive painter. This study conveys a qualitative study using document reviews, visual analysis, thematic analysis, and comparative analysis which consists of three main stages. The first stage reviews the philosophies of beauty according to Lao Tzu and Heidegger to obtain the significant elements of their philosophies of beauty. The second stage identifies the influences of Lao Tzu_s and Heidegger_s philosophies of beauty in Zhu Da_s and Francis Bacon_s paintings through visual analysis and thematic analysis. The third stage reveals the similarities and differences between Lao Tzu's and Heidegger's philosophies of beauty through a comparative analysis on Zhu Da_s and Francis Bacon_s paintings based on the significant elements discovered in Lao Tzu's and Heidegger's philosophies of beauty. Consequently, the results show that there are similarities that both philosophies have employed images to pursue the truth in the first place, used metaphor, time, and space to confirm existence in the second place, employed nihility and the subject of death to express transcendence in the third place. However, both have different ways to achieve them. Obviously, this research provides important insights into understanding the diverse phenomena of beauty and implications on the communication of beauty between different cultures._ _ _ _</p> 2025 thesis https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=14021 https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=14021 text eng N/A openAccess Doctoral Perpustakaan Tuanku Bainun Fakulti Seni,Kelestarian Industri Kreatif N/A |
