Product Description
This handsome silk Mandarin collar waistcoat (馬褂背心) is literally a walking art masterpiece, depicting details from HKMoA’s priceless art painting “Dwelling Perch Where The White Clouds Hover Still” by world-revered Chinese contemporary master artist Wan Qingli. This Mandarin collar waistcoat can be worn over western attire or over a Tang/kung-fu long robe (長袍).
Wan Qingli’s artwork using traditional brush and ink techniques are imbued with themes that exude modernity and contemporary life's allure, his creations reflect his deep engagement with traditional studies while simultaneously embodying a fascination with modern-day existence.
The painting “Dwellings Perch Where The White Clouds Hover Still” depicts a majestic mountain scenery using the layered ink technique. The layering and stippling of vermilion pigments and ink resulted in a rich and vivid autumn landscape. While it resembles Li Keran’s landscape paintings, Wan breaks from the solemnity and the sublime atmosphere typical of Li’s school. The figures in the front are portrayed in a playful manner, adding a human touch to the grand and magnificent landscape.
Painting: “Dwellings Perch Where The White Clouds Hover Still” by Wan Qingli (白雲深處有人家)(萬青屴)
