Landscape

1963

Lily Yeh (Chinese (active United States), born 1941)

This classical Chinese landscape painting was executed when the artist was still a senior in college, just months before coming to study in the United States. As mentioned in the inscription, the painting demonstrates a celebrated artistic style that can be traced back to the great tenth-century master Juran. The serene landscape, rendered with light, airy brushstrokes and pale ink washes, represents the benign environment typically associated with southern China.
