This catalogue of art of the Cultural Revolution accompanies the exhibition 'Art and China's Revolution' held at the Asia Society in New York, 5 September 2008–11 January 2009. The focus is Chinese visual culture of the 1950s through the 1970s. The exhibition brings together large-scale oil paintings, ink paintings, sculptures, drawings and artist sketchbooks, woodblock prints, posters, and objects from everyday life, many never before shown in the United States. It is the first exhibition to examine in-depth the powerful and complicated effects of Mao Zedong’s revolutionary ideals on artists and art production in China. A separate guide of the same title exists as a slim volume with a checklist of exhibited works and an essay by Craig Calhoun.
