| ANNUNCIATION SERIES
Like the stations of the cross, the Annunciation to the Virgin Mary
was believed to have clearly defined stages, which once guided the
early Renaissance painters.
Called “The Laudable Conditions of the Virgin’, these
stages are:
Conturbatio (disquiet)
Cogitatio (reflection)
Interrogatio (inquiry)
Humiliatio (submission)
Meritatio (merit)
Beyond their religious import, these are familiar human states.
LANDSCAPES
In Chinese painting exists a world of illusions which create a world
parallel to our own. The calligraphic brush makes the illusion ,and
at the same time suggests the emotion .
In the transcriptions ofThe Dwelling of the Immortals amid Streams
and Mountains and Wooded Mountain at Dusk the rigour of the strokes
makes a quiet theatre. In the Mt.Lu drawing the veils of ink describes
the climate mysteriously.
