Gottwaldov

In the 1950s, images of fuming smokestacks, high-rise buildings, and broad highways were signs of progress. Fu’s depiction of Gottwaldov (present-day Zlìn, Czech Republic), celebrates these promises of socialist prosperity. Fu’s inscription reads, in part, “When entering the city, we saw tall buildings bathed in dim twilight and thick smoke. Te Wei remarked, ‘This must be a chemical industry city.’ I immediately made a sketch, and the driver nodded in agreement with my conception.”
