East-Asian Landscape Painting

Museum of East Asian Art

Landscape paintings created with brush and ink are characteristic of the art of China, Japan, and Korea. Among the various styles, “monochrome” landscape painting—rendered in shades ranging from deep black to white—holds a special place. In this type of ink drawing, the focus is not on depicting a real landscape. Rather, the focus is on conveying a natural atmosphere that depends on the time of day and season. Inspired by this, you can create your own fan painting or experiment with ink.
