Landscape
1972
C. C. Wang
Chinese, 1907-2003
Asian Art
C. C. Wang, a renowned scholar and collector of Chinese art, was trained in classical Chinese painting in Shanghai before settling in New York in 1947. His paintings drew upon Chinese conventions while reflecting his engagement with modern Western art. This particular work continues the long tradition in which mountain imagery expresses the vast forces of nature and man’s place in the cosmos. Yet, with his expressionistic painting of massive granite cliffs and dramatically lit storm clouds, Wang achieves a new portrayal of the venerable landscape theme.
