Wu Guanzhong expressed the humanity of traditional Chinese art through the western oil painting skills， which set his works as the landmark of China contemporary art. This Guilin Landscape was created in 1991 when Wu Guanzhong was 71 years old. Wu worked a little at that year， but destroyed many paintings himself， with which he did not satisfied. Guilin Landscape is one of those Wu feel satisfied so that it could be saved and showed to the viewers at that year. The spirit of traditional Chinese landscape paintings is transmitted through ink and water， but Wu worked it by the western visual art language on the contrary. What in the interior of Wu Guanzhong’s works exists is the essence of Chinese artistic humanity.
