Download or read book Chinese Propaganda Posters From Revolution to Modernization written by Stefan Landsberger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brightly coloured prints, portraying model behaviour or a better future, have been a ubiquitous element of Chinese political culture from Imperial times until present. As economic reform swept the People's Republic in the 1980s, visual propaganda ceased to depict the tanned and muscular labourers in a proletarian utopia, so typical of preceding decades. Instead, Western icons of progress and development were employed: high-speed bullet trains, spacecraft, high-rise buildings, gridlocked free-ways and projections of general affluence. Socialist Realism was phased out by design and mixed- media techniques that were influenced by Western advertising. This lavishly illustrated study traces the development of the style and content of the Chinese propaganda poster in the decade of reform, from its traditional origins to its use as a tool for political and economic purposes.

Download or read book Art Global Maoism and the Chinese Cultural Revolution written by Jacopo Galimberti and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2019-11-18 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Everyday Sketching and Drawing written by Steven B. Reddy and published by The Monacelli Press, LLC. This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyday Sketching and Drawing offers an easy-to-follow, 5-step formula, which teaches beginner-friendly techniques for learning the skills necessary to make drawing and sketching an everyday habit. For those who have always wanted to or tried and failed to learn to draw it provides simple step-by-step instruction, plus easy-to-follow practice exercises, and provides the motivation and inspiration readers need to be successful. For those who already draw, Everyday Sketching and Drawing offers another technique to add to their drawing arsenal. Why do so many adults come to view drawing as difficult or fraught with anxiety? Traditional art instruction is often bogged down with jargon, rules, and admonishments that unintentionally stifle the joy of drawing for its own sake. Steven Reddy's new and easy approach to drawing instructs sketchers to document their unique and compelling lives in realistic yet playful sketches that record the places, spaces, and objects that help define them as individuals. He reminds artists to slow down, notice, and attend to the sketch-worthy scenes and subjects that are unstaged and always there in our everyday lives. He offers a versatile technique that can lead to a skill that fills sketchbooks with the visual details that differentiate one life from another. This approach is a meditative, relaxing alternative to academic concerns about perspective, proportion, and accuracy. Reddy encourages artists to capture in whimsical but detail-specific illustrations their unique, subjective interpretation of their visual surroundings. Steven Reddy's drawing method produces extremely detailed and realistic scenes of objects and scenes in everyday life in a relatively short period of time (60 minutes to 3 hours or more, depending on the sketcher's preference). Modifying a technique utilized by Old Master oil painters, the drawings pass through 5 clearly articulated stages where each step focuses on one visual concept at a time.

Book excerpt: Tiré du site internet de l'éditeur: "Als Kind der Postmoderne verwebt der Schweizer Künstler David Renggli in seinem Werk Populärkultur und kunsthistorische Topoi mit verspielter Leichtigkeit zu einem homogenen Ganzen. Ausgangspunkt des vorliegenden Buchs bildet Rengglis Ausstellung The Charm of Ignorance (2013) im Museum Bellpark in Kriens. Renggli montierte in einer rigiden Petersburger Hängung rund 2000 Bilder. Die Collagen verschränken Gegensätzliches, indem sie aus Bildern von Modemagazinen und Pornoheften, Kunstkatalogen und gefundener Fotografie schöpfen. Der Betrachter verliert sich im Schauen und gerät in einen tranceartigen Zustand; die Inszenierung ist ein Fest des kreativen Akts, der in schöpferischer Beschleunigung - der Künstler arbeitet etwa drei Minuten an einem Bild - eine Unmenge von Einzelwerken hervorbringt. Auf den ersten Blick scheinen sie vertraut, erst bei genauerem Hinsehen offenbart sich dem Betrachter ihre surreal-groteske Absurdität.Überraschungsmomente und Redundanz als ästhetisches Prinzip sind wiederkehrende Themen in Rengglis Werk und führen in einen wunderhaften Zustand der Ambivalenz, der uns mit beiden Seiten einer Problemstellung, also dem Sowohl-als-Auch verbindet. 25% Painting versammelt eine Auswahl von knapp 500 der ursprünglich rund 2000 Collagen, die während des Druckprozesses immer wieder zufällig neu arrangiert werden - jedes Buch wird so zum Unikat.
