«quebrar» o «<strong>de</strong>rrochar» <strong>la</strong> tinta <strong>de</strong> forma atrevida muchas veces sobre papel o seda<br />

hume<strong>de</strong>cida, <strong>de</strong> tal manera que <strong>la</strong> imagen aparece semi abstracta o incluso abstracta.” 1562<br />

Cheng <strong>de</strong>fine <strong>de</strong> esta forma pomo: “Pomo, «tinta hendida»: una vez que <strong>la</strong><br />

configuración general y los contornos borrosos <strong>de</strong> los objetos han quedado fijados por <strong>la</strong><br />

tinta, introducir el mo<strong>de</strong>lo mediante el cun, «rizos»./ Pomo, «tinta salpicada»: pintar con<br />

gran<strong>de</strong>s pince<strong>la</strong>das impregnadas <strong>de</strong> tinta; los trazos parecen salpicaduras más o menos<br />

marcadas y sin contornos.” 1563 Es <strong>de</strong>cir, pomo consiste en aplicar <strong>la</strong> tinta con ciertas áreas<br />

<strong>de</strong>l papel previamente hume<strong>de</strong>cidas, o mojando éste a <strong>la</strong> vez que se aplica <strong>la</strong> tinta, <strong>de</strong> modo<br />

que ésta se expan<strong>de</strong> en concentraciones irregu<strong>la</strong>res y movimientos anárquicos durante <strong>la</strong><br />

misma aplicación, o en forma <strong>de</strong> goteo <strong>de</strong> distinto origen.<br />

Uno <strong>de</strong> los autores europeos que más ha l<strong>la</strong>mado <strong>la</strong> atención por el uso que hace <strong>de</strong><br />

<strong>la</strong> tinta china en sus trabajos es Cozens, ya que recuerda al empleo <strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong> tinta al estilo<br />

oriental, y hasta <strong>de</strong> <strong>la</strong> técnica pomo. Todavía no se sabe a ciencia cierta si tuvo re<strong>la</strong>ción con<br />

el arte oriental. Hudson nos explica que no hay evi<strong>de</strong>ncias c<strong>la</strong>ras <strong>de</strong> ello:<br />

We have no evi<strong>de</strong>nce for any such general interest in Cozens<br />

[in chinoiseries], but then we know hardly anything of his life; even the<br />

dates of his birth and <strong>de</strong>ath are uncertain, though we know that he<br />

traveled wi<strong>de</strong>ly. A single good ink-sketch of the old Chinese tradition<br />

would have been enough to <strong>de</strong>flect a man of Cozens’s temperament<br />

into new realms of experiment; as primarily an artist of water-colour<br />

and as a true poet of <strong>la</strong>ndscape he could not but have been<br />

susceptible to one had he seen it. At a time when the normal method<br />

of English water-colour was based on pen-drawing, Cozens drew with<br />

the brush in Chinese ink, and his technique in this alone allies him to<br />

the Chinese. But much more, the result of his art in its spacing, its<br />

exquisite tonality, its intense feeling for mountain solitu<strong>de</strong>s, its<br />

extraordinary directness and simplicity of expression, is far more akin<br />
