To The Front!

Famous woodcut by Mr. Tu's father-in-law, the late Hu Yichuan, at the

age of 22 years old. "The urgency of

the shouting main figure, crushed against the picture plane in broad

slashes of white and black, both impelled on and followed by the

masklike phalanx of figures behind, conveys the uncontrollable dynamics

of a mass movement. The print aimed at fomenting resistance against the

Japanese invaders while denouncing the inaction of the Nationalist

government." -- Thorpe and Vinograd, Chinese Art and

Culture, (Harry N. Abrams Publishing Co.: 2001) p. 392.
