Comments:This lovely scene shows the Xiling Bridge on the West Lake at Hangzhou. The West Lake is a classical subject in Chinese art and literature. The viewer has the feeling of looking through a window after rain. The bridge, pavilion and trees on the right are clearly reflected. The left side of the print is more ambiguous, as lotuses on the lake confuse the reflection. Most of Zhao’s early works carried political messages. After 1959, however, because of a change in arts policy, some prints appeared with no obvious political content. Zhao, one of China’s most versatile printmakers, has spent many years at the National Academy of Fine Arts in Hangzhou.Published: Farrer (2000)
