Landscape and Figure
Wu Guandai Chinese
Not on view
Wu writes in his inscription on this fan that the landscape was done in the style of Hua Yen (1682–ca 1765), but the loose impressionistic brushwork belongs to the style first popular in Shanghai. Wu worked in Peking, but the Shanghai style was no longer a local phenomenon by his generation. The era of reproductions and easy travel freed artists from the limitations of regional schools.
