Landscape, 1734 (ink & colour on paper)
6199655 Landscape, 1734 (ink & colour on paper) by Wang Su (fl.1733-66); 119.4x52.7 cm; Minneapolis Institute of Arts, MN, USA; (add.info.: Wang Su was a nephew of Wang Yuanqi(1642-1715) and the great grandson of Wang Shimin(1592-1680), two of the most important Qing " orthodox" painters. He was skilled in poetry and passed the first level official examinations. With the fall of the Ming dynasty in 1646, the creative impulse of literati artists surged in the wake of political turmoil and moral crisis. By the 18th century however, their successors had settled into a life of prosperity, social order and ideological conformity. A leading orthodox school was formed in Jiangsu province. Comprised of followers of Wang Yuanqi and Wang Shimin, the Lou Dong group, as it was known, was partial to the painting styles of 14th century literati masters. Like others in his circle, Wang Su declined to outwardly assert his individual identity, confining his expression to compositional clarity, exacting use of light color washes, and meticulous but unassuming brushwork. This orthodox tradition was mainstream painting during most of Qing and this classic composition by Wang is a scholarly exercise whose attraction is based on stylistic allusions to past masters like Huang Kung Wang (1269-1354).); © Minneapolis Institute of Art; Gift of funds from Joan Wurtele
