He was already a capable painter in his youth when he met Wang Chien (1598-1677) and Wang Shih-min (1592-1680), who both became his teachers. In addition to providing him with thorough instruction in painting, they also took him to view and copy the works of ancient masters in many great collections. In this way, he was able to absorb the brush techniques of both past and contemporary masters. Because of Wang Hui’s consummate skill and being able to unite the best qualities of the Northern and Southern Schools of painting, he became the greatest master of brush technique in the Ch’ing dynasty. Wang Meng (1309-85), after whose works the present painting is patterned, was an artist best known for his scenes of densely wooded mountain peaks in summer and autumn, and short, nervous texture strokes. After Wang Hui roughly outlined the forms in light ink, he then used a dry brush to execute “ox-hair” (numerous, tight-knit) texture strokes, thus capturing the spirit of Wang Meng’s works. This painting was done in 1692 when Wang Hui was 61-years-old. &*王翬(1632-1717),字石谷,號耕煙散人、烏目山人、劍門樵客、清暉主人。少即善畫,後得王鑑、王時敏指授,並隨時觀摩臨仿名蹟,因能筆參古今,貌含南北,畫技之精熟為清代第一。 王蒙善繁密皴筆,山巒林木叢鬱深邃,多是夏秋山野之情狀。故仿王氏者,多作此二季景致。石谷以淡筆鉤定山石後,略加皴寫,再施以枯筆牛毛皴,深得王蒙蒼鬱筆趣。此畫是壬申(1692)年王氏六十一歲之作。 (20110913)&* Wang Hui (style name Shigu; sobriquets Gengyan sanren, Wumu shanren, Jianmen qiaoke, Qinghui zhuren) was gifted at painting in his youth, later receiving instruction from Wang Jian and Wang Shimin, who also took him to view and copy masterpieces of art. Being able to absorb the brush manners of old and new, and encompassing both the Northern and Southern Schools, Wang Hui was among the best painters in the Qing dynasty and renowned for his mastery of technique. Wang Meng excelled at complex texturing in brushwork, creating peaks and forests dense and deep while often rendering rustic scenes in summer and autumn, which is why imitators of his works often did paintings of landscapes in these two seasons. Here, after Wang Hui had used light outlines to delineate the mountain forms, he added a little texturing and then applied “ox-hair” texture strokes with a dry brush, achieving the hoary brush manner of Wang Meng. This work was done in 1692 by Wang at the Chinese age of 61. (20110913)
