Myriad Green Mountains
Wu Zuoren Chinese
Not on view
During the early 1980s Wu Zuoren produced a number of heroic images of eagles—a symbol of Confucian loyalty and imperial majesty—that would have been suitable as presentation pieces. This noble bird, perched on a pinnacle overlooking distant mountains, is accompanied by a monumental seal-script title that evokes associations of both patriotism and longevity.
Wu used diluted ink dots to describe the birds' plumage. In this technique, each feather is defined by a single brush stroke in which the dark ink seeps to the outside perimeter of every dot.
