From oil on canvas to color on silk and ink on paper, portraits are like time capsules. They offer us clues about people and their lives in the past. Portraiture has a long history in both the East and West. Before the advent of the camera, and all it heralded, portrait paintings were the most effective means of recording images of people. Produced by CGTN's The Vibe, "East Meets West" is an art documentary that examines the commonalities and differences between Chinese and Western art. In this episode, we look at portraits from different periods and cultures.
