Overview
Tracing the contours of mountains and meaning: how shanshui landscape painting captures the soul of Chinese art. Spanning from the early Qing dynasty to the present, Exploring Shanshui presents a stunning selection of works from the collection of the University Museum and Art Gallery at The University of Hong Kong. Exploring Shanshui traces the evolution of Chinese landscape painting--from the Four Wang masters to the Nanjing, Jiangxi, and Shanghai schools. Featuring twentieth-century icons like Huang Binhong and Liu Haisu alongside contemporary innovators, this volume elaborates on how artists have continually reimagined the relationship between humans and nature. More than a historical survey, this book offers a profound analysis of place and artistic tradition, inviting readers to step into the landscapes that have shaped Chinese visual culture for centuries.
