Summer Mountains (after Dong Yuan [active about ad 937-975]), 1290-1354. Creator: Huang Gongwang
Summer Mountains (after Dong Yuan [active about ad 937-975]), 1290-1354. This monumental landscape is drawn in softly rounded strokes with darker lines frequently applied on top of lighter ones. This technique recalls one of the suggestions included in a collection of the artists writings known as Secrets of Landscape Painting: The most difficult thing in painting is using the ink. The artist begins by using dilute ink and builds it up to the point where it begins to look right, then uses dense, black ink, applied fairly dry, and washes of deeper-toned ink. This technique distinguishes the fields from the paths, the far from the near. Huang Gongwang may have learned this technique from observing nature through the eyes of an earlier master, Dong Yuan, a painter whose style he shared

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Summer Mountains (after Dong Yuan [active about ad 937-975]), 1290-1354" created by Huang Gongwang. The artist's skillful use of softly rounded strokes, with darker lines layered on top of lighter ones, creates a monumental landscape that exudes tranquility and harmony. Huang Gongwang's technique in this artwork reflects his deep understanding of ink usage, as described in his writings known as Secrets of Landscape Painting. He starts with dilute ink and gradually builds it up until achieving the desired effect. Then, he applies dense black ink fairly dryly and washes it with deeper-toned ink to distinguish various elements within the painting such as fields from paths and far from near. It is believed that Huang Gongwang learned this remarkable technique by observing nature through the eyes of an earlier master, Dong Yuan. Both artists shared a similar style which further enhances the beauty and authenticity of this piece. Displayed as a hanging scroll, this Chinese heritage art exemplifies the artistic excellence achieved during China's Yuan Dynasty (1269-1368). The delicate combination of ink and slight color on silk brings out every intricate detail while preserving its timeless charm. The Cleveland Museum of Art proudly houses this extraordinary painting, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in its serene atmosphere and appreciate Huang Gongwang's mastery firsthand.
