This artwork is authenticated by the artist's seal. Kwelin, a city in the northeaster part of south China's Kwangsi Chuang autonomous region, is a city with scenery that has captivated the imagination of travelers, artists, and poets for centuries. Kweilin, typical of China's karst lands, owes its fame to its peculiar topography which can be traced over 300 million years to the period when the region was a sea bed with thick overlay of limestone. Through crustal movement, the sea bed thrust up, and the layers of limestone, eroded by acidic water and wind, formed an expanse of land marked by majestic hills and caverns in fantastic shapes. The area is made up of unusually shaped limestone hills, underground hills, underground rivers, and numerous caves. This original hand painted landscape is mounted with a silk brocade border. The artwork, margins and art surface, is in pristine condition. Close-Up

Yu. Landscape of Beauty with Lake, Mountain, and Sails. Watercolor. The paper size is 16" x 27". This watercolor painted during a new moon during in or around 1978, was acquired in 1981. This original watercolor is authenticated by the artist's seal. In this painting the artist uses a series of planes receding into the distance which nicely combines Chinese traditional spatial presentation with more recent art such as the space concepts used by Cezanne. The handling of space over all is redolent of a land-space tradition which is centuries old. The work is painted with the limited pallette common in much ancient Chinese art. The suggestion of figures off in the distance is a traditional handling of the figure in a landscape. Although man is possessed of intellect, the figure is a minor element compared to the infinite world of nature where a countryside of towering surreal mountains and water ask for awe and contemplation. The spirit and the delicate painting technique of this lovely painting is thoroughly Chinese. This original hand painted landscape is mounted with a silk brocade border.

About Ancient Tomb Brick Paintings

China's ancient mural painting is noted for its long history, rich content and unique style. It is a crystallization of the wisdom and devotion of Chinese painters through the ages. Six tombs of the Wei and Chin periods (ca. AD 220-316) located in the Gobi Desert and excavated in 1972-73 uncovered a collection of brilliantly colored paintings in the interior brick walls. These paintings are unsurpassed by any other known tomb wall paintings, in both quantity and the richness of their content. These and those above which are representations from Hang - Tang periods (ca. 618-960), present an intimate glimpse of life in China during ancient time.

The paintings are lively, based upon careful observation, and reveal details of dress, habit and personalities. The brush strokes, free and bold - splashes of color - mainly ochre and reds, express warmth and movement. This style is simple and unpretentious and communicates the full, rich flavor of ancient China. The discovery of these extremely rare paintings gives important information to Chinese historians and is a thrilling source of visual pleasure for collectors.

Their efforts were received enthusiastically when more than 2,1000,000. people saw the first major exhibition of the work in Peking in 1973, and again in France at the 1974 Paris Biennial.
