+ OVERVIEW
Landscape was composed majestically spreading from the left to the right. Swift and short strokes carved out the landscape with layers of intricate details. Light ink creates the mountainous volume of the landscape. Saturated ink dots were used to represent the lusciousness of the landscape, while soggy ink created a misty landscape on the right of the painting. The overall style is soothing and light, as the ink accentuates the brushwork, and echoes with Wang Yuanqi's style of pursuing the depiction of an impression and character of the landscape. Chiang's excellent control of brushwork highlights the dry air of autumn, making this work an exceptional piece.
