Mount Qingcheng
Lu Yanshao (1909 – 1993)
Explore the evocative landscapes & calligraphy of Lu Yanshao (1909-1993), a Chinese painter known for spontaneous brushwork & capturing mountain scenes like Mount Qingcheng.
For more than two millennia, the Chinese intellectual tradition has celebrated the act of reclusion, especially in moments of political turmoil. This is the path Shanghai-born artist Lu Yanshao chose in 1942, when he traveled from Chongqing, the wartime capital of the Republican government of China, to Mount Qingcheng, a center of Daoist practice further inland. Lu’s poem, which he inscribed at the top of the painting, describes the serenity and restorative power of Qingcheng; left unspoken are the horrors of war from which Lu sought respite.
