Art and politics in China, 1949-1984

About this book

"This book examines the complex relationship between art and politics in the People's Republic of China from 1949 to 1984. It focuses in particular on three important aspects of this relationship - the organizational structure of China's art establishment, the ideological scheme that set the guidelines for all art work, and the use of political movements or campaigns to ensure that artists complied with the official policy."--BOOK JACKET.
