In 1959 Jin was sent to Shaanxi Province to paint a piece
entitled Nanniwan, depicting the 8th Route Army opening up the
territory of Nanniwan, a reclamation project with the peasants to clear
the land and make it productive to support the people and the army. There
are only a handful of Nanniwan study paintings that still exist. This
study was painted on a page in a magazine. Notice the magazine text bleeding
through the painting in the lower right hand corner. |
