Returning Wild Geese Calling for Spring (Guihong huanchun)
Guang JunWW-1998-141959
<p>Throughout East Asia, the northward migration of wild geese signals the arrival of spring. In this dynamic, sketch-like print, Guang Jun transposed this symbol to a fa-miliar urban setting: a corner tower within the walls of the Forbidden City in central Beijing. The rippling waters of the lake, the billowing willow branches, and the wild geese—represented by tiny, abstract dots in the sky—all herald spring in the capital.</p>
