Four Evolutionary Dimensions of the Images in HUANG Binhong's Night Mountains
Night Mountains is as a classic theme in HUANG Binhong's late landscape paintings.By analyzing it from the semiotic perspective,it can be noted that the night mountain is a concept that integrates philosophy and art.Because in the philosophical context of Daoist cosmology and ontology from the periods of pre-Qin to Northern Song Dynasty,it is an image metaphor of the ori-gin or Dao in terms of space and time as it focuses on"ink"as the key element in the composition of literati landscape paintings.Subsequently,through the monumental tradition of landscape painting by Northern Song literati,the mountains at night were trans-formed into an abstract image through rich techniques of ink stroke.The isomorphic relationship between the rich application of ink strokes and the subjective mentality create an aesthetic tranquility,which transcends the antithetical discourse in philosophy,as-cends to an inner beauty without roo,and gives rise to HUANG Binhong's idea of"essence of ink"and the pinnacle of Chinese li-terati painting that embodies a profound and lush beauty alongside a somber and ancient richness.
