1980S CHINESE NEW YEAR PRINT FROM WEIFANG IN SHANDONG PROVINCE, CHINA. 刻版王太平張傳信中國濰坊年畫社？. Weifang, 1980s. Original colour woodblock New Year print. 43x55 cm. Loose.
GBP 300.00
A most colourful mirror image Chinese New Year print (nianhua) showing two lively Chinese girls dancing and swinging tasselled strings with coins strung upon them. Each is observed by a three-legged toad. The toads indicate an association with Liu Hai, a Daoist god of wealth and prosperity. The strings with coins further emphasize the wealth association. Thus the whole represents a wish for wealth in the forthcoming year. The text at bottom right reads 'Blocks cut by Wang Taiping and Zhang Chuanxin. China Weifang New Year Print Society'. Printed in the 1980s. Generally in fine condition. Slight loss to bottom right and top left corners. Tiny split at centre fold. Image available on request.
Subjects: Woodcuts Printing
