Excellent - Chinese landscape art is most inspiring!

This is also such a good illustration of how to create depth using atmospheric haze!

Excellent discussion. Thank you for drawing the parallels between artists withdrawing to more remote areas when foreigners controlled their government.

The name of this one definitely grabbed my attention today. I've been invited to participate in a mental health project that involves precisely this - a kind of "reimagining my past." It's audio-based, so I'm sure it'll be nothing like this, but I'm still intrigued.
The example of landscape painting around 1:10 is absolutely gorgeous. It's amazing what playing with light and shadow can produce. Same for the variation in his brushstrokes.
I'd love to be the scholar gazing out of the pavilion. 😌 I need to find my literati tribe, lol.

Please do a lengthy video on Wang Ximeng's A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains from Palace Museum in Beijing... the masterpiece of Chinese landscape painting and the best landscape painting in the world that I know of. Thank you.

I have to admit I had trouble appreciating this one. Again, for western eyes the monochromatic and vertical nature of asian scroll landscapes is challenging at times. I felt this one a bit flat and primitive...but maybe I'm just feeling groggy. (-:

What is an album leaf?

An unbound page bundled with others in a album or folder of some sort.
