Lu Hui

1912 · Folding fan mounted as an album leaf; ink and color on alum paper · Asian Art

The poem inscribed by Luo Hui on this painting reads: The sunset's shimmering rays weave and twist following the sail; Receding mountain light sets off the pagoda. As one looks up from the river, The water continues to flow unattended. [Trans. adapted from Ellsworth et all, Later Chinese Painting] The literatus Dong Qichang is invoked in the inscription as the source for Luo's style, but the painting embodies more a 19th century notion of the "picturesque" than Dong's intellectual style.
