Landscape
Wu Xizai Chinese
Not on view
Wu Xizai was a philologist and student of Bao Shichen. Wu's painting embodies the calligraphic taste for powerful, rich brushstrokes that engage the paper to create well defined forms and opaque palpable voids. Wu, like Zhao Zhiqian was an avid admirer and practitioner of seal carving, and the dramatic tension of his robust solids and voids, fitting like pieces of a puzzle into a tightly organized surface, brings the seal carver's aesthetic into landscape painting.
