The Paintings of Huang Chun-Pi – Huang Chun-Pi (1987)
This monograph celebrates the legacy of Huang Chun-Pi (1898–1991), a master of modern Chinese ink painting who bridged traditional shan shui (山水) landscapes with bold, expressive innovations. Known for his dramatic waterfalls, mist-clad peaks, and calligraphic brushwork, Huang’s work embodies the tension between reverence for classical forms and 20th-century experimentation.
