ABSTRACT

The relationship between painting and poetry before the twentieth century has been well examined by art historians. However, this relationship in modern Chinese art has been less addressed. This paper is a case study of Tang Yun’s Twelve-Leaf Album after Lu You’s Poems, which was made in the last year of China’s Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (1966–1976). Through an examination of the purpose, subject matter, and style of this album, this paper suggests that this album not only represents the survival of the traditionalist interplay between painting and poetry in twentieth-century Chinese art, but also epitomizes the artist’s literati approach in reviving traditionalist Chinese painting after the devastation of the Cultural Revolution.
