+ OVERVIEW

With a bountiful collection of ancient scrolls, Huang Chun-pi could copy ancient scrolls and hence developed a preference towards strokes of Jianjiang and Xiagui. He was an advocate of life drawings and individual representation, hence he received a public acclamation from Zhang Da-qian. This work is a typical majestic landscape by the artist. Outlines were used with overlapping cun to depict the rugged mountains. The structure was carefully planned and composed from left to right, showing a transition from dense mountains, vegetation, houses towards an open area of streams, mist and distant hills. Such transformation highlights the grandiosity of the landscape. The palette is carefully chosen to depict lush vegetation, elusiveness of clouds and light of distant hills. The meandering river divides the panel into two mountainous bodies. A boat sails on the river breaking the tranquility of the landscape, while a house hidden by the forest enhances the subtleness and enriches the painting.
