Wang Shimin Chinese Painting Print – Maple Album

Wang Shimin's maple album turns with the season: mountains and water, trees in autumn dress, houses tucked where the color is best — each leaf a fall chapter, the maple's red the recurring flame. The autumn album is the year's most beloved chapter — the season's beauty, the color's brief glory — and Wang Shimin's version has the teacher's measure: the fall's splendor, the composition's calm. It is autumn, kept in a book, the season's portrait.

The maple's red is the set's thread: warm against the ink's grays — the foliage's turning tones, russet and crimson — varying leaf to leaf, the season's progress. The mountains provide the grandeur, the peaks' authority; the houses the human scale, the roofs among the color; the water the calm, the reflection's doubling. Each leaf is complete; together they are the season, the fall's biography.

Autumn albums suit dining rooms, studies, anywhere fall is welcome — the season, kept. The print comes as the unmounted core only, with no frame or scroll, so warm presentation is yours to arrange. A season, in leaves.
