Winter Snow by Wu Guanzhong

Inscription: 1978.

Appreciation:

Wu Guanzhong's Winter Snow bridges East and West in its depiction of a snow-covered landscape. Sparse ink lines trace the bare branches of winter trees, while untouched paper becomes snow-covered ground. Through contrasts of ink density and blocks of color, Wu evokes the quiet chill of winter. The composition strips away all but the essentials, achieving balance between abstraction and representation — a pure expression of his pursuit of "formal beauty".
