  • Description

    This print is part of the Shattered Jade series which were produced while Xu Bing was a student at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. Many depict interactions with nature, and capture the simplicity of rural life. The prints also show some of Xu Bing’s explorations of the print medium and his use of Chinese character forms in the compositions.
