Yuan art

The Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) saw crucial developments in classic Chinese painting and the rise of great reformers in history. Artists shifted from accurate delimitation of brushwork to layering loose strokes, prioritizing individual expression over adherence to technical rules. Behind this significant change in style stood adventurous figures, such as the "four masters of the Yuan Dynasty" — Huang Gongwang, Wu Zhen, Ni Zan and Wang Meng.
