signed WUQINMU, inscribed, and with one seal of the artist ink and colour on paper, hanging scroll Wu Qinmu（1894－1953）was a Chinese painter.Wu closely followed traditions in depicting the high mountains prevalent in classical works,yet his own inclination toward expressing the profound,solemn aspects of humanity is clearly present.He employed a range of brushwork and textures,from the thin mists in the clouds to heavily textured rocky hillocks.The figures’natural poses are delicately executed with light strokes.The intricate clusters of bushes dotted in dark ink seem dynamic in the barren surroundings.
