Chinese Graphic Design in The Twentieth Century

---

From posters and advertisements to book covers and magazines this volume presets an astonishing collection of graphics, brilliantly uncovered by the authors from long lost sources, mostly in China itself, after surviving innumerable upheavals natural catastrophes, war and revolution.

Beginning with the basic traditions of Chinese graphics the authors show how the writer and artist Lu Xun became the centra of cultural revival in the new Chine. We see Art Deco coming to China in the Shanghai Style and the birth of a dynamic national design style corn of Russian Constructivism and China's own drive for new technology. The Socialist Realist art of Mao in turn adopted folk traditions to fuel the Revolutionary machine while the continuing search for a new identity can be seen in the graphic images of protest from the summer of 1989.

With 285 illustrations, 150in colour.
