Consider Kensett''s Lake George and Shen Zhou's Autumn Colors among Streams and Mountains. Discuss each artist's use of atmospheric perspective to create the illusion of depth. How does the sense of space conveyed in each work differ?
What will be an ideal response?
Both paintings suggest receding landscape through atmospheric perspective. Kensett uses receding color values to suggest deep space, while Gongwang uses a monochromatic value change.
