"The Revolution Continues provides the first link between the rebellious spirit of the current generation of Chinese artists and the mood of rebellion that was so evident during the years of the Cultural Revolution from 1966 to the death of Mao and the fall of the Gang of Four in 1976." "This extensive survey of new Chinese art is presented in conjunction with Jiang Jiehong's examination of the use of the color red, the iconography of Mao, the sense of the collective, and the use of language in texts that derive from the calligraphy of the propaganda poster. The Revolution Continues is the definitive introduction to a vital new art as it emerges from years of turmoil and diffidence. Among the major contemporary artists whose work is featured here are Zhang Xiaogang, Yue Minjun, Wang Guangyi, and Shen Shaomin. Published on the eve of the opening of the Saatchi Gallery's new exhibition space in London's Chelsea, this is not only the seminal book on the subject of recent Chinese art, but also the first book to bring contemporary Chinese art into focus."--BOOK JACKET.
