This is the first book to explore the global influence of Maoism on modern and contemporary art. Featuring eighteen original essays written by established and emerging scholars from around the world, and illustrated with fascinating images not widely known in the west, the volume demonstrates the significance of visuality in understanding the protean nature of this powerful worldwide revolutionary movement. Contributions address regions as diverse as Singapore, Madrid, Lima and Maputo, moving beyond stereotypes and misconceptions of Mao Zedong Thought's influence on art to deliver a survey of the social and political contexts of this international phenomenon. At the same time, the book attends to the the similarities and differences between each case study. It demonstrates that the chameleonic appearances of global Maoism deserve a more prominent place in the art history of both the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Forty years after China's tumultuous Cultural Revolution, this book revisits the visual and performing arts of the period - the paintings, propaganda posters, political cartoons, sculpture, folk arts, private sketchbooks, opera, and ballet - and 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 offer new insights into works that have transcended their times.

Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Orientalism / Sinology - Chinese / China, grade: 1,7, University of Würzburg, course: Modernes Chinesisch, language: English, abstract: The artistic counter poles of the Cultural Revolution are to be analysed with the aim of showing how art was created and used, as a propaganda stunt, or treated with hostility in favour of the Cultural Revolution in China. Thus, the author of this term paper starts to introduce the subject with the presentation of the chronological sequence of the cultural revolution. The main focus, however, lies on research questions such as: Who were the influential artists or artist groups of the Cultural Revolution? How did their works of art influence Chinese politics and the population during the Cultural Revolution? Which artist or groups of artists supported the Cultural Revolution and who was against it? How were artistic supporters and opponents of the Cultural Revolution treated?
