Wang Mung (王蒙, Wáng Mong; ''Zi'': Shūmíng 叔明, ''Hao'': Xiāngguāng Jūshì 香光居士) (c. 1308 – 1385) was a Chinese painter during the Yuan Dynasty. He was born in Huzhou (湖州), now known as Wuxing (吴兴), Zhejiang. He was a maternal grandson of Zhao Mengfu, thus making him a descendant of the Song Dynasty's royal bloodline. Wang Meng is considered to be one of the Four Masters of the Yuan Dynasty, along with Huang Gongwang, Wu Zhen, and Ni Zan. They famously refused to serve the Mongolian rulers of their country. In contrast to many renowned painters in previous history, these artists mostly worked on paper instead of silk, an indication of the importance they gave to the calligraphic touch of the brush on paper. They exclusively painted landscapes, which they believed to be the visible key to the invisible reality. They restricted their acquaintanceship to each other, and like-minded "wen ren" (gentleman-scholars).〔Lee, Pages 460-463〕 Wang Meng was the youngest of the group, and the least famous in his own time. Nevertheless, his style greatly influenced later Chinese painting. In contrast to the relatively spare style of his compatriots, his ropy brushstrokes piled one on the other to produce masses of texture combined in dense and involved patterns.〔Lee, Pages 466-467〕 Many artists were influenced by the works of Wang Meng centuries after his death, most notably Dong Qichang.〔Lee, Page 467〕 His most famous works are the ''Ge Zhichuan Relocating'', ''Forest Grotto at Juqu'', ''Writing Books under the Pine Trees'', ''The Simple Retreat'', and ''Dwelling in the Qingbian Mountains''. Most of his masterpieces are now located in notable museums around the world, such as the Palace Museum, National Palace Museum, Shanghai Museum, Cleveland Museum of Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.〔Lee Page 467〕 In 2011, a lesser known work of his from a private collection, titled ''Zhichuan Resettlement'', was sold for 402.5 million yuan (US$62.1 million) at art auction.〔http://en.artron.net/news/news.php?newid=171277〕 File:Wang Meng Writing Books under the Pine Trees 1279-1368 Кливленд МИ.jpg|''Writing Books under the Pine Trees'', Cleveland Museum of Art File:Wang Meng.
