When the Cultural Revolution ended in China, the long-repressed
artists and writers reemerged. In art, particularly, they began to
move away from the Romantic-Realism used in the propaganda art of
the 1960s and 1970s, to experiment with new forms and techniques.
Influenced by the Western modernist and post-modernist art that was
entering the country as part of the "Cultural Discussion," they
continued to bring a humanistic, political edge to their work. By
the mid-1980s an active, experimental art movement appeared in
China, which one critic dubbed the "85 New Wave." Among the young
artists were Mao Xu Hui, Zhang Xiao Gang, and Yie Yong Qing from
the Southern Artists Group, Su Qun and Wang Guang Yi from the
north, and Zhang Pei Li and Geng Jian Yi from eastern China. Some
of the artists, like Gu Wen Da and Xu Bing have already established
international reputations. Others, like Fang Li Jun and Feng Jia Li
are experiencing a growing recognition in world art circles. With
styles ranging from Cynical Realism and Political Pop to
Experimental ink painting and the new expressionism, it is
impossible to pigeonhole China's new artists or their vision. This
new book offers an expansive overview of painting in China over the
past twenty years. Featured are works by over 80 contemporary
Chinese artists, with examples of their work in 250 full color
photographs. Their stories and important information about the
evolution of the fine arts in China during the last quarter
century, make this a groundbreaking study and an important resource
for art lovers and art historians around the world.
