Introduction:Established in 1981 by Mr. Hsu I-Fei, the East Asian Art Research Society is dedicated to promoting Chinese cultural arts. Its mission is to “unite fellow artists, cultivate personal character, enhance art theory research, explore artistic skills, advocate Chinese traditions, study East Asian art, and promote inherent culture to achieve the goal of art benefiting society.” The society primarily focuses on the study of traditional ink painting and calligraphy. In 1992, it was officially approved by the Ministry of the Interior as a national cultural and arts organization.
This painting is a collaborative work by ten members of the East Asian Art Research Society: Tsai Hsien-Mou, Wang Mei-Mei, Chang Ching-Tsung, Chan Hui-Mei, Chen Mei-Tsu, Chen Chin-Hua, Tsai Fang-Lien, Hsieh Yu-Hua, Ho Shu-Shen, and Liang Mei-Chu.
The artwork depicts a series of verdant mountains shrouded in mist, guiding the viewer’s gaze from right to left. On the right, beneath steep green peaks, red-roofed houses serve as focal points, nestled in secluded mountain retreats, evoking a sense of mystery and depth. As the eye moves leftward, the foreground reveals red trees and green foliage, complemented by dense midground forests, creating a sense of space and vibrant life. Further left, a mountain stream cascades down rocky cliffs, winding its way beyond the painting's edge, imparting a feeling of endless continuity.
