EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of China's rich history and political legacy. Standing tall on the Gate of Heavenly Peace in Tiananmen Square, Beijing, is a majestic lion statue that exudes power and strength. Its intricate details and ornate design reflect the architectural brilliance of this 15th-century monument. Intriguingly juxtaposed with the lion is a picture of Mao Tse Dong, an iconic figure who shaped modern China through his communist ideology. This side view perspective offers a unique insight into Chinese culture and its historical significance. The photograph beautifully encapsulates the fusion of art, politics, and travel destinations. The vibrant colors bring life to this ancient capital city while emphasizing the importance of preserving cultural landmarks like Tiananmen Square. As we gaze upon this image, our focus is drawn to the foreground where animal representation meets human influence. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, symbols have played a pivotal role in shaping nations' identities. Christian Kober/Robert Harding has masterfully captured not only an international landmark but also an emblematic representation of China's past. This print invites us to explore deeper into Beijing's fascinating architecture while contemplating the enduring impact of Mao Tse Dong's legacy on Chinese society today.
