Conversation in Autumn, 1732. Creator: Hua Yan (Chinese, 1682-about 1765)
Conversation in Autumn, 1732. Two figures sit conversing in a thatched cottage. This painting illustrates two poetic lines: My guest came to sit beyond the dust, In a narrow room, we talked about the autumnal sounds of autumn. Hua Yan presented an intimate world--simple and rustic--amid a landscape. The cool wilderness depicted in this work conveys an aloofness that may reveal the inner world of a scholar-artist who failed the civil service examination but preserved a sense of pride and endurance in his humble surroundings
