The short animation "A Pleasure in Art: Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Appreciation" produced by the Hong Kong Museum of Art and the Design and Cultural Studies Workshop has been recompiled to a new edition as a window into the world of the Chih Lo Lou Collection of Chinese Painting and Calligraphy. From one scene to the next, viewers are treated to picturesque landscapes of falling leaves and gurgling streams, as though time has slowed down in a scholar's chamber cooled by a gentle breeze.

Solitude

Dry ink and sparing brushwork

Endless rivers and mountains
