Mount Huang Series No. 5

Zhao Zongzao Chinese

1991

Not on view

The late 1970s witnessed a return to traditionalism with the revival of printing with water-soluble inks. A leading exponent of this trend, Zhao Zongzao created a new landscape style of abbreviated compositions by highlighting the grain of the woodblock. Here, he uses this new technique to suggest the natural textures of the granite cliffs of Mount Huang (Yellow Mountain).
