Chinese 'Literati' Landscape Painting in the 21st Century: a Personal Exploration
What possible relevance could the centuries-old art form of Chinese ink painting have for a contemporary artist, let alone for an artist who has never lived in China? Or, to put it another way, how did a kid from New York master a classical art form that in earlier times was practiced and appreciated only by members of the educated literati class in China? Arnold Chang (Zhang Hong) will recount his artistic journey, which revolves around issues of identity, creativity, originality, perception, and history. He explains how his study of Chinese literati painting informs his own work as he attempts to update the tradition of ink painting while remaining true to its roots.
