Generation Gap

FRANK WILLIAMS American (b. 1952) This is a painting about the changes taking place in present-day China. In cites like Beijing old neighborhoods known as hutongs are being torn down to make room for newer apartment complexes. The buildings marked with the character 拆 "chai" are slated for demolition. Is the young man walking by concerned by these changes or is his generation more interested in what’s new? Gouache and watercolor on board, 2009 22 x 17.5 in. (55.88 x 44.45 cm.) SOLD
