Vibrant images of a turbulent decade / Artists and the state. The art of the cultural revolution / Summoning Confucius : inside Shi Lu's imagination / Artists remember : two memoirs. Brushes are weapons : an art school and its artists / When we were young : up to the mountains, down to the villages / Meanings then and now. The Rent Collection Courtyard, past and present / Hu Xian peasant painting : from revolutionary icon to market commodity / Beyond the visual arts. Model theatrical works and the remodelling of the cultural revolution / Feminism in the revolutionary model ballets 'The white-haired girl' and 'The red detachment of women' / Fantasies of battle : making the militant hero prominent / Richard King and Jan Walls -- Julia F. Andrews ; Shelley Drake Hawks -- Shengtian Zheng ; Gu Xiong -- Britta Erickson ; Ralph Croizier -- Paul Clark ; Bai Di ; Richard King.
"Forty years after the Cultural Revolution, Art in Turmoil revisits the visual and performing arts of the period - the paintings, propaganda posters, political cartoons, sculpture, folk arts, private sketchbooks, opera, and ballet. Probing deeply, it examines what these vibrant, militant, often gaudy images meant to artists, their patrons, and their audiences at the time, and what they mean now, both in their original forms and as revolutionary icons reworked for a new market-oriented age. Chapters by scholars of Chinese history and art and by artists whose careers were shaped by the Cultural Revolution decode the rhetoric of China's turbulent decade. The many illustrations in the book, some familiar and some never seen before, also offer new insights into works that have transcended their times."--BOOK JACKET.
