Viewing a Waterfall from a Mountain Ridge – (Fu Baoshi) ◄ Previous Next ►

Artist: Fu Baoshi

Date: 1945

Size: 110 x 31 cm

Technique: Paper

The series of waterfalls that cascade through a mountain valley in this painting exemplify Fu Baoshi’s equal mastery of describing both rocky masses and flowing water. Only a few dry lines indicate the rush of the stream, while rich layers of ink wash and scumbled brushstrokes define the rocky cliffs and foliage of the defile.
