Lecture 8B: Literati Painters of Northern Song

Watch in HD1080p: • 8B. Literati Painters ...
The beginnings and early stages of the scholar-amateur movement in painting, known first as shidafu hua and later as wenren hua, are presented through works by or attributed to the early literati masters, notably Su Shi or Su Dongpo, Mi Fu, and Li Gonglin. An especially fine painting from the next generation, the Red Cliff handscroll by Qiao Zhongchang, is given a longer, detailed treatment.

this series contains a lot of detailed case studies. It paves a good way for further study of Chinese painting.

Another terrific lecture in the series. I thought the use of light color to highlight the negative space in the grove shown in the hand scroll at 1:36:00 was worth mentioning. The grove section of the scroll would be an amazing painting by itself.

I wish there could be a Chinese sub but still okay.
