For WU Guanzhong, Chinese gardens were the soul of Chinese landscape painting, and they also made contemporary arts more appealing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
WU loved getting inspiration and ideas from and doing sketching and painting in gardens.
He thought that Chinese gardens were beautiful because of their serenity, scatteredness, penetratedness and leaking through scenery.
Meanwhile, WU associated Taihu stones, which can be found in the gardens of Suzhou, with figure paintings of the West.
He described that constitution of human body revealed the life of stones while stones inspired him about the natural inner spirit of human body.
This episode will introduce the landscape paintings of WU: “Fish in play”,“Lion Grove Garden”,“Remaining lotus flowers in ice and snow”, "Matchmaking on a wall”, etc. Let’s see how the master integrated the art theories of painting and sculpture of East and West in his works.
