Asian moutin paintings

Description:By the Northern Song dynasty , court painters were producing monumental landscapes whose imposing mountains and intricately arranged streams and trees came to be viewed as visual metaphors for the well-ordered state. The Yuan dynasty also witnessed the burgeoning of a second kind of cultivated landscape, the "mind landscape," which embodied both learned references to the styles of earlier masters and, through calligraphic brushwork, the inner spirit of the artist. They should meander like a stream. Indeed, certain styles were so popular that they became formulas that could be copied again and again. Medieval[ edit ] In early Western medieval art interest in landscape disappears almost entirely, kept alive only in copies of Late Antique works such as the Utrecht Psalter ; the last reworking of this source, in an early Gothic version, reduces the previously extensive landscapes to a few trees filling gaps in the composition, with no sense of overall space. Shan shui painting refutes color, light and shadow and personal brush work.
