EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a young Mao Tse-Tung, the influential Chinese head of state. Taken around 1920 by an unknown Chinese photographer, this portrait showcases the future leader in his formative years. Mao Tse-Tung, also known as Mao Ze-Dong or Mao Zedong, was born in 1893 and would go on to become one of the most significant figures in modern Chinese history. This image offers a rare glimpse into his early life before his rise to power. The composition is striking, with Mao's intense gaze drawing viewers into the photo. The lighting highlights his youthful features while hinting at the determination that would shape his political career. As a child growing up in China during this time period, Mao experienced firsthand the social and political changes that were sweeping through the country. This portrait serves as a reminder of those transformative years and provides insight into the man who would later lead China's Communist Party. Preserved within a private collection, this print holds historical significance beyond its artistic value. It stands as a testament to both Mao's personal journey and China's complex past. Leonard de Selva expertly captures not only Mao's physical appearance but also hints at the charisma and conviction that would define him as one of history's most influential leaders.
