Special Exhibit Hours: The Yellow Mountains (Huang Shan) of Anhui Province


The New York Folklore Gallery will be open for special hours on Christmas Day. The exhibit The Yellow Mountains (Huang Shan) of Anhui Province by local artist Zhong-Hua Lu, will be on display. Exhibits at New York Folklore are always free to view. Zhong-Hua Lu is a recipient of an Individual Artist Grant from the New York State Council on the Arts. This grant funded the creation of a 1000-foot scroll based on the artist’s trip to the Yellow Mountains (Huang Shan) of Anhui Province in China. You can read more about the artist here: https://nyfolklore.org/artist-spotlight-zhong-hua-lu/ The Yellow Mountains are an extraordinary landscape for this art form because of the huge variation in form and weather conditions. Sometimes, one mountain can appear to encompass all four seasons at once. There are 72 peaks with steep cliffs, rivers of mist, waterfalls, and pines with long reaching boughs that survive harsh blizzards and cling through blizzards to the rocky mountainsides. There is a long tradition of Chinese painters traveling to the Yellow Mountains to paint this astounding landscape from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, and into the present.
