Chen Shaomei (1909-1954), Songya Waterfall View, Hanging Scroll. Length: 130 cm (51.18 in); Width: 38 cm (14.96 in). This landscape painting by Chen Shaomei is composed after a Tang poem. Distant mountains rise in layered ridges, rendered with a combination of axe-cut and hemp-fibre texture strokes for solid rock forms. Wispy mist drifts between peaks, creating a masterful interplay of void and substance. In the foreground stands an aged gnarled pine with dense, powerful needles. Two literati scholars sit leisurely on the cliff, engaged in conversation, embodying the reclusive spirit of traditional Chinese intellectuals. A long colophon on the upper left reads: *Painted in the eleventh month of the year Guiwei, after Tang Bohu's brushwork, illustrating a Tang poem, Shaomei Chen Yunzhang*, sealed with two red artist seals. Chen Shaomei studied the painting styles of Tang Yin and Guo Xi. His brushwork is crisp, elegant and rigorously constructed, a major master of modern northern Chinese landscape painting. Original old mounting, paper bears natural foxing with age, overall in good condition.
