| Abstract | In the Yuan dynasty, ambitious landscape painting was formulated at times as site for social networking. As modern scholars have demonstrated, paintings in the Yuan serve as records of social interaction with imagery and inscriptions testifying to the formation of circles of cultured men. In general such paintings focus on an individual or a gathering that happened or imagined. In this presentation I explore the painting Spring Tilling at the mouth of a valley by the Wang Meng as an innovative pictorial and textual response to this type of landscape painting. Through a close reading of Spring Tilling at the mouth of a valley I argue that the artist sought to represent his own persona as engaged in many types of labor, not merely as a cultured man, to transgress boundaries between farmer, scholar, recluse, and official. |
