Artist: Dong Qichang, Chinese, 15551636, Reminiscence of Jian River, ca. 1621, Hanging scroll: ink and color on paper, without mounting: 49 5/16 × 18 9/16 in. (125.3 × 47.1 cm), Dong Qichang constructed this landscape around a powerful sense of movement that begins with the twisted evergreen that dominates the foreground and thrusts upward into the conical hills above. The pronounced diagonal slope of the hills, trees, and buildings at the upper left provides a dynamic counterforce to the vertical composition. This contrastvertical against diagonal, straight against twistedis continued throughout the composition and seems to reflect a long-standing involvement with a constructivist approach to landscape that Dong derived from Huang Gongwang, a Yuan dynasty master. Dongs forceful landscape paintings were paralleled by equally forceful critical writings on art, allowing him to dominate the history of later Chinese painting. , China, Chinese, Ming dynasty (13681644), Paintings.
