| "Huangshan, China" by Professor Chow. Having wandered through foreign lands and successfully contributed to the cause of traditional Chinese aesthetics abroad for over half a century, Professor Chow won acclaim as the significant heir to the tradition of the Wu school outside China. As someone who had always missed his homeland, he finally had a chance to return to China in the 1980s, visiting its famous mountains and rivers. From then on, he made use of opportunities offered by exhibiting and lecturing in Hong Kong and the Mainland to tour the beautiful landscapes of China. Upon each encounter, he returned with complex feelings for the places he visited and effectively translated them into a large body of work on the theme of Chinese landscapes. In particular, Huangshan and the Three Gorges stand out as his favourite subjects. |
