DUCHENG (b. 1946) Yichuan County, Shaanxi, China "Winter Morning Woodcut" 1975 woodcut, 17 3/8"” x 24 1/4"” Courtesy of Eric Hyer A young teacher follows the Communist Party maxim to “Serve the People” by making a fire to warm the classroom on a cold winter morning before her students arrive. The alphabet on the blackboard is not for an English class, but rather to teach the phonetic “pinin” system used to teach young Chinese to read Chinese characters. The latticework used in the window is typical of the cave homes of northern Shaanxi Province. |
