About the Artist
Mi Fu(米芾) (1051—1107), Chinese, Song Dynasty (960–1279), styled Yuanzhang and nicknamed "Madman Mi" for his eccentricity, was a Northern Song polymath renowned as a calligrapher, painter, and art theorist. Born in Xiangyang with ancestral roots in Taiyuan, he served as a书画学博士 (imperial art academician) and礼部员外郎 (Ministry of Rites official). A founder of the "Mi School," he revolutionized landscape painting with misty "Mi-dian" ink dots, while his calligraphy, famed for its "eight-directional vigor", earned him a place among the "Four Song Masters" alongside Su Shi and Huang Tingjian. Known for worshipping rocks as "brothers" and demanding imperial inkstones mid-performance, his legacy endures through works like Poems on Silk and treatises like Inkstone Studies.
Artwork Story
This painting depicts a serene landscape of mist-shrouded mountains, a solitary pavilion nestled among ancient pines, and a composition marked by minimalist elegance. The mountain peaks are rendered using Mi Fu’s signature “Mi dots” (横笔米点), horizontal brushstrokes layered to create textured forms, enhanced by wet-ink washes that evoke the ethereal play of clouds and mist. This technique epitomizes the “Mi School Cloud Mountains” style, capturing the transient beauty of nature.
