Li Jian - Landscape (Leaf 7)
"What is the secret of holding a whole landscape in one small album leaf?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
This Chinese landscape album by Li Jian holds the full depth of mountain and water within a palm-sized surface. The size is small, but the world inside it is by no means small. To hold a great landscape on a small surface is made possible by the discernment to keep only the essence and boldly take away the rest. More than what to paint, what not to paint is the harder decision. A vessel being small does not mean the world it can hold is small as well. Concentration is the art of holding something great in a small place.
