The image of an airport is here transformed into a symbol of international relations, as the artist explained in his inscription: Hub of Chinese and Soviet civil aviation—my impression of the Irkutsk Airport. In May and August of this year [1957], the delegation of the Chinese Artists Association twice passed through this airport at night. Chinese airplanes landed incessantly as Soviet planes continued to fly east. The close friendship of the two countries could be felt at this airport. On the occasion of the fortieth anniversary of the Socialist October Revolution, I painted this to record my impression. —Trans. Anita Chung
