Catalogue of the artist's solo exhibition featuring a series of oil paintings based on photographs taken during the Chinese Cultural Revolution period in China.

As Wang Min'an explained in the opening article in the book, the '... portraits thus have dual monumentality implications: It is both individual autobiography and collective memory; private as well as national macro political domain; general preservation and also critical reflection...'

A summary of the Panel Discussion, and an Appendix with Announcement, Artist Profile, Artist's Statement, a detailed chronology of the artist, and a brief biography of the curator are provided.

(Note: A version without the Appendix is also available at AAA.)
