| 内容简介（英文） | Huang Pin-hung (orginal name Chih; style name P’u-ts’un) was a bative of She-hsien, Anhwei. In his middly years, he took the sobriquet Pin-hung, by which he became most well-known. He started painting uder Ch’en Ch’un-fan and later devoted himself to landscape subjects, taking the Anhwei School style of the seventeenth centruy as his model; he was influenced by the styles of such painters as Li Liu-fang (1575-1628), Ch’eng Sui (1605-1691), Ch’eng Cheng-k’uei (fl.17th century) and K’un-ts’an (1612-c. 1673). He also followed the styles of Sung (960-1279) and Yuan dynasty (1279-1368) painters, transforming and reforming them to create his own style. This painting was executed with the complementary use of dark thick and scorched dry ink that appears sophisticated and elaborate, yet conveying the idea of tranquil profundity. The contrast between black and white is very obvious. In the upper left corner is an inscribed poem: “The plodding travelers often lose their way; if not for the recital from books where is he to be found?” This poem emphasizes even more the difficulty of expressing sound in painting, fully representing the special Chinese characteristic of fusing poetry and painting. |
