"The notion of the political body in propaganda posters and performance art from China from the 1960s to the present is an attempt to link Maoist cultural and political practice with the development of art practice in later decades up to the present day." Katie Hill's collection and essay on propaganda posters from the Cultural Revolution is an attempt to trace the beginnings of contemporary Chinese art from the early days of the Maoist Cultural Revolution and the use of the militant and all-powerful human figure as representative of the Totalitarian body, to the present day contemporary performance artist.
