From August 23 to November 23, "Work of Nature in Blue-and-green Landscape: Research Exhibition on Colours of Landscape Painting" is underway at the Guangzhou Museum of Art.
Blue-green paintings were a very important genre in Chinese landscape painting in the Tang Dynasty, using blue and green mineral or plant dyes as primary colors. This time, over 40 landscape paintings from Ming and Qing Dynasties are on display, showcasing the history of this genre of Chinese traditional fine art.
