As one of the major themes in Western painting, Landscape painting did not become an entirely separate subject, rather than a background for religious paintings or figure paintings until the seventeenth century in Dutch painting. Landscape painting usually focuses on the depiction of landscapes under visual experience, from natural scenes to urban scenes, from sketching to the study of light and color, and a large number of excellent works have been created under the exploration of generations of artists.

This exhibition presents nearly 200 paintings with the theme of "landscape" since the 1920s, including oil paintings, watercolors, drawings, ink, prints, photographs, etc., including landscape paintings created by the pioneers of modern Chinese artists who, after inheriting the artistic traditions and conceptual styles of Western neo-classicism and post-impressionism, have developed their own Chinese aesthetics and sentiments, and there are also the creations of conceptual collisions, fusions and artistic explorations between Chinese and Western art, as well as the diversified practices of landscape painting in the soil of both tradition and contemporaneity in the 21st century. In terms of landscape objects, there are pavilions, mountains, rivers, lakes and oceans, as well as scenery in the south of the Yangtze River and lonely smoke in the desert; there are also sketches of distant lands and journeys, as well as depictions of hometowns and the changing seasons.

In these works, the landscapes painted by the artists also broaden the viewer's horizons, stopping in front of the "landscapes", the atmosphere conveyed by the works spreads out immediately, and we don't need to "understand" the works as our own responsibility, but we can still see a broader world, which is the art of landscape and the landscape of art.
