龚贤(1618-1689)清代著名画家。字半千,又字野遗、岂贤,号半亩,又号柴丈人。江苏昆山人。后迁居南京。“金陵八家”之一。出身贫苦,性孤僻,具有正直不阿的人格,晚年以卖画为生。在诗、书、画上都有一定的成就。在南京的“复社”中是知名的人物。明亡后定居在南京清凉山,修筑半亩园。善画山水,初从北宋入手。主要师法源,二米(米芾,米友仁父子),主张革新,强调以自然为本,抒发自己的情感,自成一家风格。他把山水画艺术的表现技巧概括为四个根本方面:笔法、墨气、丘壑、气韵。并以创造丘壑为重。他的用笔是“秃而老“,在描写涧壑溪桥、茅亭古树时,不着晕染而气势自然,苍劲深厚。画山石皴擦多至十余次,而常以浓淡不同的厚重颜色,相当真实地刻划出湿润多雨的山林景色,具有一种厚重浓淡、沉雄郁茂的独特风格。末年竟为南京权贵欺凌致病而死。代表作有:《深山飞瀑图》、《急峡风帆图》、《木叶丹黄图》、《重山烟树图》、《溪山人家图》、《云林西园图》等,其著作为:《画诀》、《香草堂集》、《柴丈人画稿》等。

As you remember, I like the collection from Metropolitan. I am wondering where these works reside.
I didn't know you were into Chinese landscape painting! My teacher, Master Qingxong Ma, admires 龚贤 very much. Last time when I was in China, I tried to find a book of 龚贤's paintings, but didn't succeed. Thanks for the posting! ---Shuyan
I didn't find his paintings in China either. Those pictures were taken at metropolitan museum. There is an online article about that exhibition:

I particulary love those small paintings. They are so relaxed but perfect!
