These questions have been on my mind since going to see the exhibition of Chinese propaganda posters at <a href="http://www.tokyoartbeat.com/event/2006/6DCA">Gallery TOM</a> in Shibuya. The images, made between the late 1950s to the 1980s, are so arresting, so over the top: people waving guns and flags in the air, striding around, saluting, chests thrust out – this is some serious nation-building being depicted!</STRONG></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.pingmag.jp/2006/06/29/pop-and-propaganda-chinese-posters-and-wang-guangyi/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.pingmag.jp/img/F88AEB60-8AEC-437E-A029-05FBD8911DBF" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.pingmag.jp/2006/06/29/pop-and-propaganda-chinese-posters-and-wang-guangyi/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.pingmag.jp/img/868023F8-0FFC-42C7-90FA-0B68BA9C73C8" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/8D11BB01-39B1-4AF2-88D0-7C1B051FDD60/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
