So the history—riveting, puzzling, depressing, exhilarating—of culture and politics in China goes on. The Asia Society show, with its fine catalog, gives a vivid sense of its complexities, past and present, in nutshell form. – The New York Times
Enormous Mao portraits, heroic soldiers, smiling peasants and glowing factory workers highlight how seductive, and ultimately dangerous, certain illusions can be. – The Wall Street Journal
This groundbreaking exhibition is the first-ever to focus on three of the most tumultuous and catastrophic decades in China's recent history—the 1950s through 1970s—encompassing the Cultural Revolution. Visit AsiaSociety.org/chinarevolution
