A famous painting credited with forming the revolutionary conscious of the Russian people, before the revolution.

Chinese artists(such as my father) are heavily influenced by Russian paintings. Those artists went on to influence me. This is a painting I consider special because it formed MY revolutionary conscious, even tho u might argue Im not revolutionary at all :(


The boat trackers were supposed to pull the ship full of cargo from one place to another(not merely harboring the ship). They do that because there is no wind(the sail is not open)

Each face of the boat trackers presents a entire story of his own---which makes the painting realistic.

*Notice the steam arising far behind the boat. Its a steamboat. THINK ABOUT THAT.
