CHINA - FOOD RIOTS, 1947. A Powerful Image of Desperation and Struggle
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the chaos and turmoil that engulfed a Chinese city during the food shortages of 1947. In this woodcut by Chao Yen-nien, we witness a mob of people storming the streets, demanding rice amidst scarcity caused by hoarding and profiteering. The image serves as a stark reminder of the dire circumstances faced by ordinary citizens during the Chinese Civil War. As they grappled with political unrest and violence, their daily struggle for sustenance became an additional burden to bear. The artist's skillful use of calligraphy adds depth to this powerful depiction, emphasizing both the urgency and desperation felt by those in search of basic necessities. The mid-century style further immerses us in this historical moment, transporting us back to a time when survival was uncertain for many. Through this artwork, we are reminded of humanity's resilience in times of adversity. It sheds light on how communities come together in moments of crisis but also exposes the darker side - profiteering at the expense of vulnerable populations. As we reflect on this poignant image from Granger Art on Demand's carousel collection, let it serve as a testament to our shared responsibility towards ensuring equitable access to food for all people around the world – then and now.
