Portrait of Li Yaofu

Li Yaofu is a Song dynasty landscape artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Li Yaofu painted bold ink-on-paper scrolls in the early Yuan dynasty, balancing sharp lines against empty space. His hanging scroll Bodhidharma Crossing the Yangzi River on a Reed shows the monk poised on a single stalk above crashing waves, the ink almost black. Tap it to study every stroke.
