This exhibition catalogue contains six sections, which are "Style Versus Scenery," "The True Mount Lu," "Travel in the Modern Era," "Taking Hold of the Landscape," "The Politics of Scenic Painting," and "Inspired by Scenic Views." Together, they present the capacity of painting styles to capture scenic views, the viewpoints and framework that influenced their depiction, and the development of scenic landscape painting under the influence of twentieth-century outdoor painting and political circumstances. This exploration of scenic landscape painting in modern times allows readers to better understand the paradoxically close yet sometimes aloof relationship between "scenic views" and "landscape painting" in Chinese art.
