The mist and rain of Mount Fuji. Painted during the breezy autumn, the ninth lunar month of xinmao year, 1951.
Still standing tall, the unparalleled peak of Japan.
Extremely rare within Zhao's oeuvre, this work was directly inspired by his poetic feeling towards the mountain. The painting features Mount Fuji from a low angle, the mountain top appearing strikingly through the dark thick mists. At the foreground are lush mountain forests which the artist compellingly evoked with his loaded and luxuriant brushwork.
