ANONYMOUS (13TH CENTURY)
Landscapes
ANONYMOUS (13TH CENTURY) Landscapes Album of eight leaves, ink on paper Each leaf measures 15.5 x 19.8 cm. (6 1/8 x 7 3/4 in.) Without signature or seal Colophon by Sun Weibi (19th-20th century), with one seal Accompanied by a note of Liu Qiu’an (1915-1999), with two seals NOTE: In China, paintings have long been highly regarded by the literati and aristocrats as a means to nurture one’s character and manners. First appearing in the Wei and Jin dynasties (3rd century), landscape painting took shape in the Sui and Tang dynasties (6th -7th century) and evolved to be stylistically sparse, distant yet profound expressions in the Song and Yuan dynasties (10th-13th century). Subtle and without signature or seal, Landscapes exemplifies the characteristics of the Song Yuan landscape painting. Various views of the rivers, mountains, hills and clouds in different times of the year are meticulously depicted in an overall abstract pattern, yet rendered with maximum visual effects. Compare with Snowscape formerly attributed to Ma Yuan now in the collection of the Shanghai Museum. These qualities, together with the dense paper texture of Landscapes, justify it being a work of the Southern Song/Yuan period.
