Huang Qifeng (1889-1939)Landscapes after Gong Xian Album of eight leaves, ink on paper, each leaf with multiple seals of the artist. 7 5/8 x 5in (19.3 x 12.7cm), each leaf 黄起鳳 仿龔賢山水畫册 水墨紙本 册頁八開 As an individual painter who lived as a recluse and considered himself an yimin (leftover subject) from the previous dynasty, Gong Xian (1619-1689) had few immediate followers who imitated his distinctive style. Yet as a one of the most popular painters in Nanjing of his day, his paintings continued to be well-received in the centuries that followed. In this album by Huang Qifeng (Huang Xiaoting, 黄曉汀), the artist faithfully captures the vigorously painted dots and luxurious ink effects of the earlier master.
