Landscapes Inspired by Old Masters
Discover how Zhou Kai and Wu Hong used works by past Chinese masters as catalysts for their personal creativity. Inscriptions on seven album leaves and a hanging scroll reveal that the artists were seeking, as Wu writes, to capture the “beauty and spirit” of works made as early as the 900s.
