Gu Qiao

Qing dynasty, b. 1614

Gu Qiao is a Qing dynasty artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

Gu Qiao painted delicate ink landscapes of China’s winter peaks. One scroll, Snowy Mountains, traces jagged ridges caught in a blizzard, ink pooling like fresh snow. His brushwork stays quiet, trusting ink’s depth over color.

The 1691 scroll shows how he layered mist and stone to make distance feel real. Tap into Snowy Mountains to stand inside the hush of a frozen range.
