More about the book
The Chinese ideogram for landscape-- shanshui --is a compound of the symbols for mountain and water. Even in contemporary Chinese art, which seems so dominated by the figure, there are numerous references to these elements. This publication explores the aesthetic arc from historical shanshui paintings to the art of today.
