Circa 1950s-60s - This is a lovely and peaceful print titled “Homeward Journey”, depicting an Asian elder about to cross a snow covered bridge on his way home. It is simply framed in a bamboo-like frame and the print is protected under glass. The writing roughly translates to “It has stopped snowing and is clearing up around the rivers and mountains”.
ABOUT THE ARTIST - - The original painting of this print is by Ling Fu-Yung who was born in China in 1889. She studied at the Peking Museum and was commissioned by the Royal Family to paint portraits of past Emperors of the Ching Dynasty. During the 1930s she lived in Berlin but the threat of WW2 brought her to California in 1938. After designing sets for the film, “The Good Earth”, she taught painting at Stanford University and Chinese at the Language School at Monterey Presidio. After settling in Carmel, she lived there until her death in 1978.
