Landscape
Huang Binhong Chinese
Not on view
By the end of the 1930s, after Huang Binhong had experimented with landscape, he returned to the study of earlier idioms but with a freer approach to brushwork that approached abstraction.
This album leaf recalls the works of such Ming loyalists as Bada Shanren (1626–1705) and Kuncan (1612–1673). Red has been used to highlight the bridges, houses, and trees, but the effect emphasizes the linear patterns of these elements rather than their forms. Instead of signing this work, Huang impressed it with a seal that he placed in the sky above the landscape, as if it were the sun.
