Gu Kaizhi (Chinese landscapist, 344-407 CE)
|
Note: Considered the father of Chinese landscape painting, Gu Kaizhi worked during the Six Dynasties period and held office at the Eastern Jin court at Jiangkang. He was, however, lauded for his work as a figure painter. Three paintings are attributed to him although only copies probably remain. These include two versions of the "Fairy of the Lo River" story and the scroll entitled "Admonitions of the Instructress to the Ladies of the Court." Landscape elements and figures are delicate and ethereal yet formal and somewhat stiff, tendencies found throughout the long tradition of Chinese landscape painting. Gu was also a writer and in his "Essay on Painting" lists landscape after figures in a list of subjects and their relative difficulty to paint. The inclusion of landscape is perhaps the first critical mention of the genre and indicates that landscape was already valued for its own sake and not simply as a setting for narrative. |
