The mountains in the foreground are blue with gray contours; the mountains in the background are light brown with gray contours. _______ Painting in the traditional Chinese manner is very much tied up with my own cultural identity and it is through painting that I have been best able to explore and understand the Chinese part of my own bi-cultural identity. My work, to this point, is firmly grounded in the literati tradition, particularly the Southern School, as defined by Dong Qichang (1555-1636) and his followers three hundred years ago. Basically, following Dong's model, an artist can define his artistic lineage any way he wants, claiming those artists whose works he likes and emulates, and leaving everybody else out! So when I say 'traditional manner' I mean works in ink, with or without color, on paper, that follow a brushwork-oriented aesthetic as exemplified by the Yuan masters, Dong Qichang, Wang Yuanqi, Wu Hufan, C.C. Wang and me! -Arnold Chang, from a 1993 interviewcom.gallerysystems.emuseum.core.entities.Classification@5fhttps://emuseum.cornell.edu/objects/35502/rdf
