Artist best known as the painter of Travelers
Amid Streams and Mountains, the greatest single example of the
monumental-landscape style of painting and a benchmark painting for all Chinese

of becoming one with nature. Fan's style -- reducing human figures to minute
proportions and dramatizing the remarkable power of nature -- has led critics to
evaluate his creative powers with those of nature itself
