Description
In Yang Zhi-lin's letter to Kong Chang-an, he described his condition at that time "after 1989, my creation has been congested, making ink paintings about my blurry and chaotic dream constantly." (For further information about the letter, please refer to https://digital.kenyon.edu/zhoudocs/359/.) "Horse Dream" here is one of the dream-series paintings. In "Horse Dream" he used traditional techniques, such as ink texture methods (cunfa), linear drawing(baimiao) and washes(yunran) to depict the shape and texture of different objects. The horse may refer to the object at the bottom of the painting connected by two lines with other two objects. His autograph is visible beside the knot of three lines. The style and position of his autograph vary from piece to piece. (Zhuocheng Jiang '26)
