The pictures are really beautiful. The exhibition would be a great success with these pictures. I just loved watching the picture of the mountains.

The poster, in other words, was part of the Big Lie of Maoism, a terrible reality covered up by exciting slogans and arresting images created by brilliant artists. Should we collect them?

Well, of course, no harm is done, and, certainly, the posters have both great visual and historical value. McWethy himself told me that he got interested in Cultural Revolution memorabilia because of the images themselves.

Those are some really good and mind blowing pictures and I am quite sure that if with those and exhibition is done,then it would be a great success,and people would once again come to know why China is such a great and beautiful country.

Since the propaganda exist, guru, dictator, president, ... used art to communicate.
Art is universal and when someone want to do propaganda, he search to touch the most of people.

Now, i like also this système because it permits us to discover country :)

I forget my question, this exposition is only for NY or it will move in next mounth, i hope in Europe.
Have you some information about this?

It's already over, BH :-[

very interesting indeed, but a bit annoying already (have read a lot on the topic at different blogs I came across by searching the net by http://torrents.rapid4me.com )sick and tired of different propaganda of the kind. like back in USSR. each country has smth of the kind. why not move on? China will do it all right judging from the latest election results. thanks anyway!

Really beautiful art. I didn't know the chinese art before, but thank you to give me that

ha! does that guy actually have a long march tattoo?

It still interests me to see how China Daily uses its foreign writers (I need to avoid the use of the word ‘journalists’ in this case) to tow the party line and to make it seem like there is some kind of strange international consensus that the rest of the world agrees with the CCP. If there’s anything we Chinese have always been big fans of, it’s always been a) denial, b) legend, and c) bandwagon-jumping. Those are not mutually exclusive, either. So if a white guy says it, then he must be right!

Pretty good post. I just found your site and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed browsing your posts.In any case I’ll be subscribing to your blog and I hope you post again soon!ugg boots

I was lucky to visit an exhibition in Toronto several years ago named "Art Of The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution". It was focused to the same period and demonstrated all the spheres of the life in totalitarian countries. Such kind of shows are precious pieces of the political history our children have to know.

It seems to take a world of crises to inspire great propaganda art, and there are plenty of crises here. By comparison, the talent creating American public-service posters seems to have fallen off since the great upheavals of the mid-twentieth century.

Propaganda is created to influence the minds and actions of people, in order to generate a response that achieves the goal of the propagandist. Politicians and governments often use propaganda to obtain support/compliance for their policies.

Look at these fantastic images!!
I do really love Chinese art.
Someday I will visit China and admire it´s culture in live.
Thanks.

The pictures in this gallery are taken from two North Korean propaganda books purchased in China near the China-North Korean border in the late 1990s.

Chinese art has a history of thousand years. It has taken many turns. But I think Chinese art is very much rich. The exhibition was pretty good. The fact that I can see is the Chinese art is also getting modernized and diversified. 

It's always easier for people when art has historical contexts.

Love the chinse arte would love to visit there myself.

This seems to be an amazing place and some of the art is just spectacular. I was never aware china also had such a high cultural importance for art.

Amazing arte, cant belive it.

Simply a great art collection. Thanks for sharing with us.
