Zhang Chenchu: Three Great Men: Sun Yatsen, Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping (Zhang Chenchu: San weiren - Sun Zhongshan, Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping 张晨初: 三伟人 - 孙中山， 毛泽东， 邓小平)

In 2007, Zhang created a series entitled Three Great Men: Sun Yatsen, Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping (三伟人—孙中山, 毛泽东, 邓小平) that retains the lighting effects but places them this time before a background of straight “Warhol colors”: blue for Sun, yellow for Deng, and—naturally—red for Mao (ill. 5.45e).
