[Chen Shizeng’s Ink Brush Landscape Painting Axis]

The Ink Brush Landscape Painting Axis, in modern times, is painted by Chen Shizeng in silk, with ink brush, 67 centimeters vertically and 27.3 centimeters horizontally
Self title: “The mountain air is pale, and the sound of the spring is swallowing. In this place, the head of a quiet person has turned white, and he is as ruthless and stubborn as a stone. In the middle of the year, the sages are rewarded with elegance. Heng Ke is in the seventh month of the year. Heng Ke is in the sixth month of the year.” The seal is stamped with “Heng Ke’s Seal” and “Decadent One’s Seal”< The 'Bingchen' in the self question refers to the fifth year of the Republic of China (1916)
The picture depicts high mountains, waterfalls, flowing clouds, and secluded houses in the dense forest
This landscape painting, painted in 1916, is an earlier work among Chen Shizeng’s paintings. The composition of the work is stable, and the ink is deep. The repeated texturing, wiping and coloring is very different from his later empty and uncrushed landscape painting, which obviously bears the ink meaning of Gong Xian, the head of the “Eight Masters of Nanjing”. Chen Shizeng began painting landscapes directly from imitating the ancients, especially from the school of painters opposed to the “Four Kings”, Gong Xian being one of them. When learning to use ancient painting techniques, Chen Shizeng took the attitude of using the ancient people for his own use rather than yielding to them, and mastered their brushwork thoroughly, so he wrote freely.
