Tang Yin
Date unknown · Folding fan mounted as an album leaf; ink and color on gold-flecked paper · Asian Art
The scholar in this fan painting, apparently lost in the pleasures of watching a waterfall in the comfort of a thatched pavilion built expressly for this purpose, must represent the dream of every Chinese scholar-artist. A superb calligrapher, Tang Yin is able to impart extraordinary expressiveness to his rock and tree forms, which are done in the Southern Song ink-wash idiom, normally considered the style of the "professional" painters of his time.
