Huang Tingjian worked at a period when the terms of art itself were being renegotiated.
The record lists Huang Tingjian as Chinese Song Dynasty artist and poet (1045–1105).
Huang Tingjian was born at Xiushui County in 1045. His recorded nationality is Northern Song dynasty.
Workshops rather than individuals produced most work in this period, and attribution is often a modern reconstruction.
He worked as writer, poet and calligrapher.
His recorded movement is jiangxi poetry school.
An artist's reputation moves with taste, but the work stays exactly where it was left.
That the work was made in Northern Song dynasty shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.
Huang Tingjian died in 1105, aged 60. The work remains, hanging in collections that outlived both the artist and the market that first priced it.
