Chinese Propaganda Posters - Reviews
"Culled from the archives of photographer Michael Wolf, what`s most amazing about Chinese Propaganda Posters isn`t the imperative of war but the flowery, rosy-cheeked image of purity that is used again and again. The basic iconography of the People`s Republic from 1949 into 1980s that is assembled here speaks to a society where the enemy is not exterior but rather contained within individual failures."Paper, New YorkUnited States |

"Este interesante muestrario de carteles es sobre todo una inmejorable ilustración del obsceno espectáculo de la propaganda de Estado (niños con rifles en las manos mientras les cortan el pelo) y de la habilidad quietamente subversiva de algunos artistas para socavar la lírica de un paraíso obrero sin salirse sin embargo del marco ideológico que se les encomendaba promocionar."Colors, MadridSpain |

"Can you believe they were made 30 years ago? Seeing China's recent economic high growth, scenes from those propaganda posters are very fresh. Considering they were not created for fun, we are impressed by their artistry."Kokusai Boueki, TokyoJapan |

"With their trademark attention to detail, TASCHEN has produced yet another fascinating, beautifully detailed and presented book."Inpress, MelbourneAustralia |

"Combinados en la forma típica del arte de propaganda, estos afiches exudan ‘vibraciones positivas` (...)."Wipe, Buenos AiresArgentina |

"With examples from four decades, the book beautifully illustrates the major changes in Chinese life from the revolution, through to the rise of consumerism in the 1980s. ( ..) TASCHEN rule at this kind of thing."What's on, LondonUnited Kingdom |

"It takes publishers like TASCHEN to have the understanding and visual sense to publish a book like Chinese Propaganda Posters. Oversized and full-color, the book gives the posters the respect they deserve and viewers a chance to study the imagery and iconography of all the posters without having to utilize a magnifying glass to do so. The posters are even subdivided into over thirty chapters, some as specific as "Building our country through diligence and frugality," or "Self-reliance and arduous struggle." As such, the history and progression of the posters is more readily understood. Throw in the bright red and gold divider pages and the frequent large-scale type quotations and you can see how Chinese Propaganda Posters provides visual documentation for an important yet understudied style of 20th century art."Shade, ArizonaUnited States |
