Catalogue Note:
This work plays with the diversity of space. Using the overlapping lines and colours to lead the eye from afar, the painting opens up to the audience with details of the landscape. The multifarious forms of ink adds vibrancy to painting, breakthrough from traditional Chinese ink paintings.
Yu Cheng-yao (1898-1933) began his art practice at the age of 56 and participated in exhibitions in the US for two years. In his retired life, he gained an accomplished fame in music research, thus becoming one of the
few literati who excelled in poems, calligraphy, paintings and music.
The paintings featured in this Sale are depicted with Yu's typical style and structure. Despite Yu's deviances with traditional painting practices, the mountainous characteristics carry the same idealistic qualities as traditional Chinese paintings.
