DiaporamaSnow: Poetic Thoughts of Mao Zedong
1959
35.0 x 50.0 cm
Here, Fu rendered a panorama of a snowy landscape in an impressionistic manner. Mountains and rivers are conveyed with swift, scribbling strokes over blank areas of shimmering white—all full of vital energy. Mao Zedong stands on a mountaintop, taking in the vista, as a soldier behind him carries a revolutionary flag—a modern, radical twist on the old pictorial convention of a recluse seeking solace in nature with an attendant who follows him carrying a qin, or zither. This fantastic snowy scene anticipates the famous work Such Is the Beauty of Our Rivers and Mountains, which is based on the same poem.
