Thomas Cole vs. Wang Jian

Thomas Cole and Wang Jian have a similar art piece.  Art and nature is the theme for both art pieces. Thomas art piece is vertical and Wang art piece is horizontal.  However the similarities are open area and an unknown place.  Thomas's art piece shows after a thunderstorm and it's dark on left side covered with trees.  It looks like a hidden unknown place while the right side has a river and little amounts of little of trees and light.  Also in Wang's art piece shows the same.  The top shows a mountain separated from the bottom and it also looks likes the mountain is also unknown and dark like the woods with the dark clouds.  I personally like Wang Jian's art work because I am interested Asian arts.  I am familiar with these art works because when South Korea was ruled under Japan.  Many people in Korean still have these art works and Korea has developed these art works as well.
