Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Under Mao's leadership, art was made to serve the "workers, peasants, soldiers, and the cause of socialism." Enormous amounts of artwork, including billboard-size paintings and mass-produced posters, were created to promote the Party's ideology. Two of China's most active independent documentary filmmakers talk to artists, including Liu Chunhua (who created the famous painting-turned-poster “Mao Goes to Anyuan”) about their work and participation in the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) and trace how folk art was transformed by the political campaigns. Other interview subjects include former Red Guards, academics, and collectors of Cultural Revolution relics and memorabilia, who discuss the significance of these works then and now.
