Chinese Courtyard - 5x7 Fine Art Print

Description

Chinese Courtyard

We shot this red paper New Year wish in an old farmhouse courtyard in Yangjiabu, China. Red paper calligraphy is pasted on doorways and walls during the lunar New Year Festival. "Couplets", which are two line poems, are pasted on either side of a door or gate. Here, the single character on the red diamond is the word for good luck, abundance. Many doors also have New Year woodcuts of red faced warriors on horseback, Door Gods which protect the household.

I love the square symmetry of this shot, and the spare gray coloring punctuated by bright red and black.

I will custom print this 5" x 7" digital photo for you on archival quality Epson Premium Matte paper, which produces soft, velvety colors and a superb image. With proper care, your print will last a lifetime.

The print is signed and dated by me and will be shipped flat in a clear acid free sleeve with a protective backing board and in sturdy packaging. It is unmounted, unmatted and unframed.

Your purchase will help us to continue work on our documentary about the ancient and beautiful Chinese kite and the artists who struggle to keep this tradition alive. Please see our profile and website at www.windabove.com for more information.
