“Mao Poem on Wiener Zeitung”: A Historical Intersection
“Mao Poem on Wiener Zeitung” is a striking piece from the “China’s Takeover” series, where Chairman Mao Zedong’s poetry meets history. This work features a poem by Mao painted on an original 1816 edition of the Wiener Zeitung, Austria’s oldest newspaper, which ceased daily printing in 2023. It symbolizes the convergence of Eastern and Western narratives.
The Wiener Zeitung (Oesterreichisch=Imperial privileged Wiener Zeitung) is an Austrian newspaper. First published as the Wiennerisches Diarium in 1703, it is one of the oldest newspapers in the world. At the end of its daily printing in 2023, Wiener Zeitung described itself as "the world's longest-running daily newspaper still in print.
The work is part of an unfinished series called "China's Takeover".
Mixed media with ink and oil paints on original newspaper from 1816.
