Laishui "Clod" Print, special one in the contemporary prints, takes over the Chinese traditional painting style and takes the expression of the northern peasants' rough and lofty sentiments as the major subject. It is created collectively by the group of print——Clod Print Society, most of which are peasants in this county. Most people in this group take no training of the professional painting. They base upon the countryside life, use the board and plywood that are suitable for expressing the flavor of Central Hebei's countryside, and print a lot of print works that are full of the flavor of the North.
Clod Print is full of heavy flavor of rural lives, express the peasants' love for the new life, and also has clear emotion and the state of Chinese contemporary pastoral poetry.
The picture of Clod Print is plain in design, varied in change and distinct in color contrast. It not only remains the feature of the folk fine arts, but also adds the painter's artistic style of expression. It reverberates the print circles in Hebei as soon as it appears. It becomes a vital new force in the arts' field and is approved by the arts circles.
