Landscape after Guo Xi
Not on view
This is an early work by C.C. Wang, painted while the artist and collector still lived in China. Though his later paintings show an attempt to adapt the training of his youth to twentieth century purposes, this painting shows him studiously channeling tradition, revealing a mastery of the brush idiom of the late eleventh-century landscapist Guo Xi (ca. 1000-ca. 1090); the majestic pines with “crab-claw” hooked branches, bold, wavy contour lines for rocks, and wavy texture strokes for rocks are hallmarks of this manner.
