Mountain in the Mind

In this program, noted Hong Kong artist Wucius Wong explains the traditional Chinese approach to landscape painting: of the need to create both the essence of nature and the emotion of the artist in contemplating it. "Overall," says Wong, "these paintings capture a sense of timelessness that goes to the very heart of the Chinese vision." The camera follows Wong closely as he visits a familiar Minnesota landmark, Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis, and then paints it later from memory in his studio.
