While constructing the landscape composition, Chu Teh-Chun applied bright colours filled with poetry and romance at the tip of his brush in No. 134 (Lot 141) in 1962. Gradually he built a dreamlike depiction reminiscent of the works by William Turner. The work marks Chu's departure from a robust, majestic style defined by classic painters like Fan Kuan and Li Tang. At the same time, he forgoes the singular vision of achieving variations in ink-wash. Instead, Chu aims at a softer approach to technique and composition, suggesting his intent to make paintings a vehicle to imply mood and atmosphere outside of the confine of canvas. This development brings Chu even closer, at a metaphysical level, to early Chinese painters and the lyrical, poetic imagery they produced with their emphasis on projecting feelings naturally and effortlessly through brush and ink.
