Inscription: 参用大涤子法。- Painted with influence of Shi Tao (1642-1707)

--

Shi Tao — monk, painter, and one of the most original voices in Chinese art history — famously declared that painting should follow no fixed method, that the single brushstroke contains all things. This work absorbs that spirit fully. There is nothing rigid here, nothing formulaic — only a landscape that feels discovered rather than constructed.

A waterfall surges through the center with raw, unrestrained force, its white cascade rendered in bold, confident strokes that leave nothing tentative. Around it, pines and mixed foliage press in from all sides — layered, varied, and alive — with touches of muted pink and amber breaking the deep greens with quiet insistence. Above, the mountain rises in warm ochre washes, its surface textured with loose, expressive marks that follow no single system, mist softening the transitions throughout and lending the whole composition a quality of things still forming.

参用大涤子法

石涛——僧侣、画家，中国艺术史上最具独创精神的声音之一——曾言画无定法，一画之法，乃万法之本。此作深得其旨。画中无拘谨，无程式，唯有一片仿佛是被发现而非被构建出来的山水。

瀑布从画面中央以原始而不加收敛的力量奔涌而下，白练以粗犷自信的笔触写就，毫无迟疑之态。四周松木与杂树从各方逼入——层次丰富、姿态各异、生机勃发——淡粉与赭色点缀其间，在深绿之中以沉静而执着的姿态破色而出。上方山体以暖赭色大笔晕染，表面以松动富于表现力的皴法写就，不拘一格，云雾在各处柔化过渡，为整幅构图赋予一种万物仍在生成之中的气息。
