ChunMing Hou, Swan Laying Eggs, 1988
oil on canvas
59 × 94.5 inches

In ‘Swan Laying Eggs,’ the Greek mythology story of Zeus and Leda is merged with a landscape of Chinese literati painting. The artist appears as a figure in the lower right corner, who seem at a loss and alienated. He is observing the scene of the East and the West intercourse while the egg represents a new and unknown hybrid life created through the fusion of two cultures.
