Fu illustrated Mao Zedong’s 1925 poem “Changsha” in which Mao portrayed himself as a thoughtful scholar with noble aspirations, moral responsibilities, and deep feelings for the country. Fu followed the “red line” in such late political paintings, responding to the alarming attacks against other artists whose works were labeled as too “black,” “elitist,” and “highly toxic,” which foretold another policy change in the art world on the eve of the Cultural Revolution (1966–76).
