現代 謝稚柳 仿梁楷山水圖 軸|Landscape in the Style of Liang Kai

Xie Zhiliu

Dated 1980 · Hanging scroll; ink on paper · Asian Art

In the 1950s, Xie took an interest in the atmospheric landscape paintings of the Southern Song dynasty (1127–1279). This scroll, painted in imitation of Liang Kai's (ca. 1150?–ca. 1220?) abbreviated style of ink wash, illustrates Xie's ability to create pictorial poetry through the spontaneous application of contrasting washes. The flying geese and the bamboo silhouetted against drifting mist are characteristic Southern Song motifs.
