Mi Fei (Mi Fu): Mountains and Pines in Spring
Mi Fei (1051-1107) was known by the style name Yuan-chang. His sobriquets were Lu-men chu-shih, Hsiang-yang man-shih and Hai-yueh wai-shih. He was well-known as a calligrapher, and also studied the painting style of Tung Yuan. He was talented in simple landscape paintings, and together with his son Yu-jen, originated the style of the so-called Mi dot landscape or the Mi-chia-yun-shan ("Mi style cloudy mountains") . This work, whose effect is enhanced by the poetry written by the Sung Emperor Kao-tsung, is known as an example indicating the true character of Mi Fei's style.
