This special display was created in response to requests from New York City educators–who are once again teaching their students in person–for the resumption of China Institute Gallery’s onsite field trip program.
Combining photography of the renowned Chinese mountains with original Qing dynasty (1644-1911) Chinese landscape paintings from U.S. private collections, this showcase spotlights twenty-two works of art by thirteen artists, revealing the importance of mountain culture in Chinese history and art. The assembled works will highlight the formats, compositions, techniques, subjects, and aesthetics of Chinese painting. This unique display will provide basic knowledge of landscape painting, as well as inspire further interest and appreciation of the relationship between man and nature in Chinese culture.
