Catalogue Note:
From the right to the left on the canvas, the surging scene shows black steeds competing and chasing one another. Their hasty steps seem to pound the earth, stirring up rolling billows of dust. Strong, vigorous, and powerful Bactrian steeds seem to be capable of striding across all obstacles, running toward a broad and open world. The galloping atmosphere has aroused viewers’ limitless imagination and aspiration toward the hero’s lofty sentiments. If we say Du Fu’s “The Bactrian Steed” perfectly combines object depiction and emotional expression with words, then it is quite unnecessary to purposefully interpret this work’s strength, which is direct and powerful.
