Yellow Mountain

The biggest, happiest surprise of our trip to DC last week was the unplanned viewing of Yellow Mountain: China's Ever-Changing Landscape in the Sackler Gallery. Containing drawings and photographs of Mount Huangshan, the images were truly breathtaking. The drawings were on scrolls, sometimes measuring 6 feet in height or 20+ feet in width and made with remarkable precision. The photos were confined to overhead projections, creating remarkable, beautiful scenes covering a large wall into gallery.

I was very quick to order the supporting book with Wang Wusheng's stunning photographs that evening. Even before the Olympic coverage of the country, I was considering how beautiful it would be to tour China someday. This collection may go a long way in encouraging that trip.
