Abstract

[From 1949 to 1966, dubbed the “Seventeen Years” by the media and historians, Chinese art experienced a fundamental reconstruction, including guidelines and institutions: it became a party-led system constructed to implement communist ideology. It launched the Xin Nianhua (Novel New Year’s Prints) Campaign, remodeled guohua (national painting), and advocated for various phases as applied to oil painting: Humble Realism, Socialist Realism, and Nationalization. Large-scale sculpture created ideological theaters in ppublic space, while propoganda posters helped visualize absurdity. All the arts served proletarian politics and its ideological basis in order to build a visual utopia.]
