StatsGuchengli
1961
60.0 x 105.0 cm
Both the painting’s diagonal composition and the streaks of blue wash used to depict the water help convey the swift flow of the river, where huge log rafts are each being guided by a single helmsman. The artist’s inscription describes this scene: As our group came down from [Changbai] Mountain, we spent a night at Guchengli [in Helong municipality]. . . .Where the two rugged shores confront each other, the water flows rapidly. Farther down, it falls into the Tumen River [along the border between China and North Korea].
