Huang Binhong

[2] He would develop a connection with the land, growing a fondness towards Xinan literature and painting, which he would later emulate the styles of.

The compact touches, the graceful outlines and the elegant styles of Xin’an School of painting (新安画派) had a profound influence on Huang throughout his life.

In 1928, Huang visited Guangxi and Guangdong and created a lot of works by sketching the real landscapes.

He utilized dripping, staining and layers of dense ink to illustrate the misty wet feeling of rain and the nightly view of mountains.

Dots of red, green and blue pigment merged with layers of dense ink creating a luxuriant and richly integrated style in which he deftly manipulated solid and void.

His varied style and creativity not only won him an honorary title, but also brought light into the modern Chinese art history.
