Nanga School Paintings By: Katie and Nick
Nanga Masters • Nanga masters have variations of literati paintings, Japanese aesthetics, and unique brushworks while they accumulated other talents such as calligraphy and poetry.
How it started • The Nanga School started by other painters taking ideas from literati painters and being grouped together as the Nanga School.
Uragami Gyokudo • Uragami Gyokudo became known for his painting, Geese Aslant in the High Wind, in 1817 which represented a large natural source destroying the nature around it.
Gyokudo Artwork • Gyokudo art was considered to strong in his own time because of his layers of calligraphic brushwork, but in the modern century he has come to be appreciated and considered a great artist.
The Nanga School • The Nanga school was not a school in the sense of a professional workshop, rather it took its name from the southern school of amateur artists described by the Chinese literati theorist Dong Qichang.
