商品描述


For more than three decades, Wang Wusheng has been captivated by the beauty of Mount Huangshan, also known as the Yellow Mountains. Located in the southern part of the Anhui province in northern China, Mount Huangshan has often been described as the world's most beautiful and enchanting mountain. Over the centuries this mountain with its seventy-two peaks has been the subject of Chinese landscape painters, whose singular works are so haunting it seems impossible that these mountains exist in nature. Inspired by the legacy of these paintings, Wang Wusheng has sought to portray this scenic wonder. As shown in the collection of ninety photographs in this extraordinary volume, here are mist-shrouded, granite peaks emerging from an ever-changing veil of clouds, sculptural craggy rocks on lofty cliffs, and weathered, oddly-shaped pine trees, depicted in all seasons and at various times of day. Wang Wusheng's images are so exceptional that they look like paintings.

Accompanying the photographs are two fascinating essays about the art history and natural history of the Yellow Mountains. Art historian Wu Hung provides an eloquent, comprehensive survey of the region's artistic, literary, and photographic tradition, relating how Wang Wusheng's work is an important part of this notable legacy.

In a second essay, Damian Harper presents an authoritative account of the geology, geography, and natural history of this legendary place. In addition, there is an introduction by the Japanese critic Seigo Matsuoka, who contributes an insightful appraisal of Wang Wusheng's work.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在過去三十多年中,王無勝一直被黃山的美麗所吸引。黃山位於中國北方的安徽省南部,常被形容為世界上最美麗和迷人的山脈。幾個世紀以來,這座擁有七十二座峰的山脈一直是中國山水畫家的創作主題,他們的作品如此令人難忘,以至於似乎不可能這些山脈真實存在於自然中。受到這些畫作遺產的啟發,王無勝努力描繪這一自然奇觀。在這本非凡的作品集中,收錄了九十幅照片,展現了被霧氣籠罩的花崗岩峰巒,從不斷變化的雲層中浮現出來,還有高聳懸崖上的雕塑般的岩石,以及形狀奇特的風化松樹,這些都在四季和不同的時刻中被描繪。王無勝的影像如此卓越,以至於看起來像是畫作。

伴隨著這些照片的是兩篇有趣的文章,探討黃山的藝術史和自然史。藝術史學家吳洪提供了該地區藝術、文學和攝影傳統的優雅而全面的調查,闡述了王無勝的作品如何成為這一顯著遺產的重要部分。

在第二篇文章中,達米安·哈珀提供了這個傳奇之地的地質、地理和自然歷史的權威性描述。此外,還有日本評論家松岡誠剛的介紹,他對王無勝的作品進行了深刻的評價。
