Seeing Red

The Revolution Continues, a new monograph produced by the Saatchi Gallery of London, presents itself as an artistic primer and panacea for would be Sinophiles. It gives an extensive, detailed overview of new Chinese art, but also tries to place these works in the context of the massive changes that have shaped China since the Cultural Revolution. Essays by Jiang Jiehong -- director of the Centre for Chinese Visual Arts at the Birmingham Institute of Art and Design -- help to ground audiences in the thematic and aesthetic touchstones of contemporary Chinese art: calligraphy, Maoist iconography, and of course, the color red.
