Comments:Shi Handing’s prints often combine traditional landscapes with revolutionary iconography. In ‘Sunrise at South Lake’ he commemorates the first Congress of the Chinese Communist Party in 1921. That meeting, held secretly in Shanghai, was discovered by the police. The delegates reconvened at South Lake, on the boat shown here. Red, the colour of the boat and of the sun rising in the east, was the colour of the revolution. During the Cultural Revolution, it also symbolised Mao Zedong.Shi Handing spent his career in Jiangsu province. During his years at the Qidong county Culture Office, he experimented with colour effects. He found a way to enrich transparent colours on traditional rice paper and used the new technique in this print. Published: Mary Ginsberg (2008)
