(Northern Song) Guo Xi, Early Spring Scene (detail)

In traditional painting methods, because interpretive vision was valued over realistic drawing, vision became the soul of Chinese painting. ” The conception is before the brush, and where the painting ends the conception is still present”; ”there is feelig in the landscape, and there is landscape in the feeling.” This picture consists of panoramic upward, outward, and downward distance. It is a representative tripartite composition, a magnificent trearment of high mountains and great chasms in the early spring.
