Artist
Various Scholars
Various Scholars is a Song dynasty painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This album page belongs to a tradition of Chinese handscrolls and albums where scholars wrote and painted to record history and friendship. Ink on paper carries colophons and a small image on this frontispiece to the album “Five Old Men of Suiyang.” The leaves follow an old Northern Song theme of honoring local elders through brush and text.
Look for the calligraphy next to the painted section to see how words and image worked as one.
