Museum Representations of Maoist China (eBook, ePUB)

From Cultural Revolution to Commie Kitsch

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The collection, interpretation and display of art from the People's Republic of China, and particularly the art of the Cultural Revolution, have been problematic for museums. These objects challenge our perception of 'Chineseness' and their style, content and the means of their production question accepted notions of how we perceive art. This book links art history, museology and visual culture studies to examine how museums have attempted to reveal, discuss and resolve some of these issues. This book will be of interest to scholars and students in museology, visual and cultural studies as well as scholars of Chinese and revolutionary art.
