Description "Harvest Warm Wind". Lü Min transforms compositions and colors into language to express something. Here the message is "harvest" and "warm wind". The harvest is expressed with ripe sunflowers and the typical yellow-brownish colors of a field ripe for harvest. The "warm wind" is expressed with light colors and with the slightly bent plants - with the wind coming in like a spotlight beam. The colors of this print are less vibrant, more refined and they form a nice counterpoint towards the dark, black and dark-violett colors which frame the composition from left, right and top.
Note Lü Min was selected by the Muban Foundation in London for the collection of 60 representative woodblock prints by leading contemporary Chinese printmakers as the number 29 in the portfolio.
