Oriental art
A thing of beauty is always fresh, vital, principled, and divine. [1]
Some samples of its masterpieces:

"We are the same as plants, as trees, as other people, as the rain that falls. We consist of that which is around us, we are the same as everything. Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it." Buddha.
Chinese painting
"The flower is a jumble of thighs, the sun's harem - the most oriental thing imaginable." Malcolm de Chazal.
