| During the Ming dynasty, royal painters
continued the magnificent and graceful style
of the Song Art Academy. Outside the imperial
court, the "Zhejiang School" represented by Dai
Jin and its counterpart, the "Jiangxia School
" headed by Wu Wei became dominant for their
forceful brush strokes and free, bold ink washes.
In Suzhou, the "Wu School" represented by Shen Zhou and
Wen Zhengming dominated
the field for over one hundred years. They focused on brush and ink
washes to
express scholars' emotion. In the late Ming, Dong Qichang reformed
literati
painting through synthesizing the Song and Yuan traditions. |
