Wang Gongyi's suite of seven woodcuts depicting Chinese feminist revolutionary Qiu Jin is in the Ashmolean Museum Collection.
"In depicting Qiu Jin I had something I wanted to say. Her tragedy moved me for a long time: I still remember the time when I cut 'Qiu Jin', dripping with sweat and tears, in a small storage room, my heart filled with grief and indignation." - Wang Gongyi
