My Home on the Songhua River

1982

Woodblock print

​

Chen Yuping’s works have been called “symphonic,” a description that suits print no. 2 better than this earlier-created one. There is rhythmic flow to the successive bands of colour and varied motifs, yet the scene is precise and carefully ordered. Here are Chen’s glorious hues in a landscape celebrating his homeland, but it is not wholly without political content: roads, tractors and boats signify economic development, and agricultural abundance is emphasized by the crops covering the land.
