Landscape

Guan Huai
Chinese, active late 18th century
Label TextThe poet Gary Snyder once described how, during a visit to the Seattle Art Museum in the early 1940s, he was mesmerized by a Chinese landscape painting, which reminded him of the Cascades. Although he could not remember which painting he saw, he thought this painting by Guan Huai would have been the kind of work that inspired his immediate response. The idealized nature represented in the painting continues to have a universal appeal, beyond geographical and cultural boundaries.
