Shanshui, the Chinese term for landscape, combines the characters for mountain and water to represent a profound connection between the individual and the natural world. This volume, developed in collaboration with Ai Weiwei, traces the evolution of this tradition by juxtaposing historical landscape paintings with contemporary works. It examines how traditional aesthetics continue to influence modern Chinese art, grouping selections by thematic characteristics and formal manipulation.
