The exhibition "Momentous Mountains: The Artistic, Philosophical and Cultural Engagement with Chinese Landscape Painting" invites visitors to immerse themselves in the captivating world of Chinese landscape paintings from the collection of the University Museum and Art Gallery (UMAG), The University of Hong Kong. This series of paintings spans from the early Qing dynasty (17th century) to contemporary times. The represented artists come from diverse backgrounds and employ various approaches to landscape art. They attest to the interdisciplinary nature and cross-cultural aspect of Chinese landscape painting, reflecting the influence of d schools, painting traditions and regional styles. The exhibition presents the depth and virtuosity of the development of Chinese landscape paintings, extending from the orthodox Four Wang Masters of the early Qing, the Nanjing School, the Jiangxi School and the Shanghai School of Chinese paintings. Rarely displayed in public, the paintings include iconic works by renowned masters and influential art educators, such as Liu Haisu (1896-1994), Fang Zhaoling (1914–2006), Wan Qingli (1945–2017) and Wesley Tongson (1957-2012)—outstanding contemporary artists who trained in the leading Eastern and Western art academies.
