Jade Mountain, Auspicious Snow

Artist

Chang Ku-nien

Physical Description

Though this painting was not dated, it should be most possibly painted after Chang moved to Michigan in 1974. Perhaps it is because of the cold winter, during this time, Chang created many works on landscape of snow. This is a scene of clearing after snow.
