VERY LARGE, Guan Shanyue (關山月; 1912-2000) framed Chinese traditional painting, ink and color on paper laid to silk, signed and dated. Breathtaking rendering of a marvelous landscape painted by Huang Junbi (1898-1991). Painted in the guohua or traditional Chinese technique, which does not conform to the artistic practices of the west, such as proper perspective and lighting methods. This painting is broken up into sections by wispy cloud-form revealing immense mountain peaks stretching toward the heavens. The sectioning of this painting allures the eye across the piece, giving the viewer a chance to journey through the landscape rather than focusing on a singular point. This painting bears witness to Guans mastery of traditional brush strokes, wash, and fine detail. Green coloration and bright red and bluish blooms can be seen in several outcrops of foliage, lending a certain liveliness to the work. Cursive script is found in the left side followed by artist signature red seal, written with precision and acuity matching the brilliant execution of the landscape.Measurements: Scroll Width: 165 3/8" Length: 63" Painting Length: 55 5/8" Width: 143 3/4"The Sale Will Benefit for Momentum Church, GA.PROVENANCE:From the heirloom collections of DR.
