Oil on canvas, 68" x 68", 1990
During the Ching Dynasty, the royal family provided everything for the people, including basic food supplies. In the dictionary "given by the royal king" translates into the Chinese word dsan which is understood to mean "waiting on line for food." The citizenry were used to receiving food from the big "Royal Pot" and to this day they expect to be provided for by their government.
