A visitor looks at terracotta warriors sculptures by Norwegian artist
Marian Heyerdahl at a gallery in Beijing March 2, 2007. From the back,
this army of contemporary terracotta warriors looks as forbidding as the
ancient battalion that was buried with a warring Chinese emperor to lead
in the afterlife. But these all-female soldiers, created by Norwegian
artist Marian Heyerdahl and on display in Beijing, carry a completely
different message than the famed, original Qin dynasty statues with their
pained faces, pregnant bellies and mutilated bodies. [Reuters] |
