The Summit of the Tatry Mountains

Fu Baoshi Chinese

dated 1957

Not on view

Fu Baoshi painted this image after a visit to the Tatry Mountains, which form the border between Slovakia and Poland. Fu rendered the mountains with his usual repertoire of texture strokes and ink washes but pointedly added the sweeping lines of a cable car as a way of highlighting the industrial development of another socialist nation.
