The care and thought a great artist invests in a work are evident not only in the finished piece, but also in the drafts prepared along the way, where the artist may leave notes for improvement.
Fu Baoshi, one of modern China's most innovative ink painters, created a painting inspired by a poem by the late Chairman Mao Zedong. The fourth and fifth preparatory versions are included in the previews for works of art and crafts to be offered at Poly Auction's major autumn sales, scheduled from Dec 16 to 18 in Beijing.
