Hsieh Shih-ch'en: A Ming Dynasty Painter Represents the Past

This catalogue features the exhibition Hsieh Shih-ch'en: A Ming Dynasty Painter Represents the Past, which includes thirty-three paintings by the 16th century Chinese artist, Hsieh Shih-ch’en, demonstrating the special character of the Ming Dynasty. They display a wide variety of styles, subjects, and media and include hanging scrolls, hand scrolls, album leaves, and fan paintings. Landscape painting dominates Hsieh Shih-ch’en’s work, but his personal interpretation of different ancient Chinese styles brings a freshness to his subject.
