  • Modern Chinese Paintings: The Reyes Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford by Shelagh Vainker

    Modern Chinese Paintings: The Reyes Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford

    Ink monochrome paintings are central to the Chinese landscape tradition but the exclusive use of ink in such a large, simplified landscape is striking, and its density is varied to great effect. In the early 1970s Shi Lu painted several landscapes of Mount Hua in Shaanxi province, one of China's great mountains; Chang'an is the classical name for Xi'an in the same province, where Shi Lu was a leading member of the group of painters known as the Xi'an School.
