"In
Chinese painting, Nature is no longer an inert, passive entity. If we
regard it, it regards us as well: if we speak to it, it speaks to us as
well. Evoking Jingting Mountain, the poet Li Bai affirms: 'We regard
one another tirelessly,' which echoes the painter Shitao who, with
regard to Mount Huang, says, 'our tete-a-tete is endless.' "
