健的《老济南系列》油画作品《曲水亭》
Oil painting “Qushui Pavilion” by Guo Jian
There are many ways to record the beauty of a city. To the author, painting and calligraphy can not only reveal the lasting
appeal of ancient landscapes, but also show a profound life experience.
The author, who is not a Jinan native but residing here, has generated a lot of interest in paintings that portray the
scenery of Jinan. Acclaimed masters have created tons of paintings through the ages, such as “The Autumn Colors on the Ch-
iao and Hua Mountains” by Zhao Mengfu, imperial painting of the Qing dynasty “The Kangxi Emperor's Southern Inspection
Tour”, Oil Painting Series “The Old Jinan” by Guo Jian, “Amidst the Lotus Blossom” by Wu Zehao, and 100 dry ink paintings
by Zhang Tongxiu. Their brushwork, which provides a vivid display of mountains and rivers, pavilions and buildings, old streets
and alleys, flowers, birds, fishes and insects, can inspire the audience to appreciate Jinan’s charm from another angle.
