Ink painting, Chinese--20th century--Exhibitions. Notes Exhibition catalog written by Arnold Chang and Brad Davis. Catalog of an exhibition held at the Aspen Art Museum, Aspen, Colo., Feb. 27-Apr. 13, 1986 and the Emily Lowe Gallery, Hofstra University, Hempstead, N.Y., July 5-Aug. 22, 1986. Bibliography: p. 90. FOR anyone who wants to know why Chinese painting has been important to so many Western artists, ''The Mountain Retreat: Landscape in Modern Chinese Painting'' is the show to see. There are numerous links between its 43 paintings and modern Western art. Indeed after seeing this excellent show - in the library of Hofstra University in Hempstead, L.I., through Aug. 22 - the recent claim of the Chinese painter Wang Jiqian that ''modern art is a branch of Chinese painting'' may not seem quite so farfetched.Most of the works relate to some aspect of 20th-century Western art. For example, Mr. Wang, who has lived in the United States since 1949, begins his paintings with ink blots shaped by crumpled paper and then imagines landscapes in which not only black ink but also white paper can seem charred. Wu Hufan's 1933 ''Landscape in the Style of the Four Yuan Masters'' reminds us that the postmodern interest in juxtaposing different artistic styles has been part of Chinese painting for centuries.The success of the show is largely due to its organizers. One is Arnold Chang, the vice president and director of Chinese painting at Sotheby's. The other is Brad Davis, a 44-year-old painter and student of Chinese painting whose Colorado landscapes call attention to Chinese art. The catalogue consists of informative dialogues between Mr. Chang and Mr. Davis on almost all the artists and works they selected. Their main interest is esthetic. The next step after this show would be defining what the pictorial elements that seem so close to Modernism mean in China.
