Description
The sketch on this page opening is one of many depictions of rural life that Xu Bing drew when he was staying in southern Hebei, and relates in various ways to several other works: the traces of daily life in his larger drawings of the same period (LI2007.23, LI2007.24, and LI2007.25), the animals in later prints (LI2007.50) and the carefree feel of the apricot tree sketches (LI2007.27 and LI2007.28).
