Drawing from Life explores revolutionary drawing and sketching in
the early People's Republic of China (1949-1965) in order to
discover how artists created a national form of socialist realism.
Tracing the development of seminal works by the major painters Xu
Beihong, Wang Shikuo, Li Keran, Li Xiongcai, Dong Xiwen, and Fu
Baoshi, author Christine I. Ho reconstructs how artists grappled
with the representational politics of a nascent socialist art. The
divergent approaches, styles, and genres presented in this study
reveal an art world that is both heterogeneous and cosmopolitan.
Through a history of artistic practices in pursuit of Maoist
cultural ambitions-to forge new registers of experience, new
structures of feeling, and new aesthetic communities-this original
book argues that socialist Chinese art presents a critical,
alternative vision for global modernism.
