The relationship between politics and art in any society should not
be seen simply as one of cause and effect. Political and artistic
issues are linked to one another through a complex network of
interactions and associations. In the People's Republic of China,
where all aspects of society are directly related to politics, and
where the creation of art is in itself considered a political act,
this relationship is more clearly defined than elsewhere, though no
less complicated. In China, the government plays a direct and
active role in overseeing the nation's artistic production, and in
determining the criteria for critical judgment. This study is
divided into three sections. Chapter 1 outlines the major
statements of artistic policy and the theoretical structure upon
which the. policies are based. Chapter 2 deals with the effect of
the artistic policies upon artists, and the reactions of painters
to the political demands placed upon them. The third chapter will
focus on the experiences of three such artists, Kuan Shan-yueh, Li
K'o-jan and Ch'ien Sung-yen. All three specialize in landscape, a
genre that has been especially problematic, and all three
incorporate both Western techniques and traditional Chinese methods
of drawing.
