About this puzzle

Heidi Taillefer (Canadian b. 1970) Brewing the Yangtze , 2000 Surrealism, humanism, and mythology meld in the dynamic work of Canadian artist Heidi Taillefer. In this large-format oil painting, a five-clawed royal dragon represents China's longest and most important river, the Yangtze. The imagery is replete with symbols of Chinese culture: golden carp suggest wealth and prosperity, cranes represent longevity and wisdom. And disembodied human hands-whether reverently clasped or holding a ceremonial weapon to pierce the dragon-allude to the interplay of humankind with the natural world.
