The collection, interpretation and display of art from the People's
Republic of China, and particularly the art of the Cultural
Revolution, have been problematic for museums. These objects
challenge our perception of 'Chineseness' and their style, content
and the means of their production question accepted notions of how
we perceive art. This book links art history, museology and visual
culture studies to examine how museums have attempted to reveal,
discuss and resolve some of these issues. Amy Jane Barnes addresses
a series of related issues associated with collection and display:
how museums deal with difficult and controversial subjects; the
role they play in mediating between the object and the audience;
the role of the Other in the creation of Self and national
identities; the nature, role and function of art in society; the
museum as image-maker; the impact of communism (and Maoism) on the
cultural history of the twentieth-century; and the appropriation of
communist visual iconography. This book will be of interest to
researchers and students of museology, visual and cultural studies
as well as scholars of Chinese and revolutionary art.
