Landscape
Xiao Sun was a cofounder of the Chinese Painting Research Society (Zhongguo huaxue yanjiuhui 中國畫學研究會) in Beijing in 1920, along with prominent painter-theorists Jin Cheng and Chen Hengke. He advocated the study of late Ming/early Qing painters Shitao (1642–1707), Gong Xian (1619–1689), and Mei Qing (1623–1697). This painting of a white-robed scholar by a stream in a pine grove reveals Xiao’s interest in Shitao, especially in the color palette and the combination of wavy lines with bold dots to texture rock surfaces.
