Landscape after Dong Yuan, 1775 (ink on paper)
6199624 Landscape after Dong Yuan, 1775 (ink on paper) by Wang Chen (1720-97); 99.1x46.8 cm; Minneapolis Institute of Arts, MN, USA; (add.info.: Wang Chen was born in Tai Cang, Jiangsu province in 1720. He was a sixth generation descendant of the orthodox master Wang shimin (1592-1680) and the grandson of Wang Yuanchi (1642-1715). Wang passed the second-degree provincial exams in 1760 and later served as the prefect of Yongzhou in Hunan province. As a painter, Wang Chen carried on the well-established orthodox tradition of his family lineage which was derived from the Four Great Masters of the Yuan (1280-1368). Wang Chen was eventually classified along with Wang Yu, Wang Su, and Wang Jiu as the Four Lesser Wangs of the Qing dynasty. As with the present landscape, Wangs style is characterized by dry brush techniques. The painting is rendered almost entirely in spare, dry strokes of ink that seem to just graze the papers surface. The result is a unified, elegant composition with remarkably few areas of wet ink. Typical of orthodox painters, homage is paid to past masters; in this case, according to the inscription, the great Five Dynasties landscape artist Dong Yuan (active 945-962). The reference, however, is vague as there is little of Dong Yuans personal style in this landscape, but rather a synthesis of Song and Yuan styles reinterpreted by a middle Qing orthodox painter.); © Minneapolis Institute of Art; Gift of funds from Joan Wurtele

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "Landscape after Dong Yuan, 1775" by Wang Chen. The ink on paper masterpiece measures 99.1x46.8 cm and is housed in the prestigious Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. Wang Chen, a talented painter born in Tai Cang, Jiangsu province in 1720, was deeply influenced by his family's artistic lineage and the orthodox tradition passed down from the Four Great Masters of the Yuan dynasty. Renowned for his dry brush techniques, Wang Chen's style is evident in this landscape painting where spare strokes of ink delicately graze the surface of the paper. The composition exudes elegance and unity with remarkably few areas featuring wet ink. In paying homage to past masters, Wang Chen references Dong Yuan, a celebrated Five Dynasties landscape artist known for his unique style. However, this particular artwork combines elements from both Song and Yuan styles as reinterpreted by Wang Chen himself during the middle Qing dynasty. The print captures every intricate detail of this remarkable piece while preserving its timeless beauty. It serves as a testament to Wang Chen's mastery and dedication to upholding traditional artistic practices within his family lineage.
