6125005 Landscape After Huang Gongwang, 1752 (ink & colour on paper) by Wang Yu (fl.1710-50); 271.9x127.5 cm; Minneapolis Institute of Arts, MN, USA; (add.info.: This monumental composition pays tribute to the famous Yuan dynasty scholar-painter Huang Gongwang (1269??354). It is an attempt to combine two of Huang??? preferred compositional methods in one landscape. One of them is pingyuan, or ???evel-distance??perspective, defined as looking from a place in the foreground into the far distance across a flat landscape. The other is gaoyuan, or ???igh-distance,??in which the viewer is placed at the bottom of a grand mountain looking up toward the summit. The painting shows a panoramic level-distance view. The spectator??? eye is carried back into the depth of the composition through clearly marked stages. A rolling outline closes the high peaks in the background to demonstrate the ???igh distance.??; Photo: by Minneapolis Institute of Arts, MN, USA; Gift of Ruth and Bruce Dayton.
