Feng Zhengjie, Zhu Qi-pi Li, Eleonora Battiston Intr.
FENG ZHENGJIE
4.to, br., pp. 224, ill. b/n col., cm 24x28. (Damiani Forward). Colour photographic illustrations, 220pp, Testo italiano/English/Chinese softcover. "Feng Zhengjie, whose work appears on the cover of 2005's China: The New Contemporary Painting, represents international trends toward borrowing and riffing on bygone styles -and the return to painterly technique - as much as he does his country's blooming contemporary art scene. His sources include posters of Shanghai in the 1930s and contemporary wedding photography, and the bright, streamlined style with which he addresses their conventions has the look of polished fashion imagery, an airbrushed 1980s feeling that's gotten increasingly eerie in recent years as his subjects' irises and pupils have shrunk to little dots on largely white eyes, giving them a glassy, doll-like look. Eleonora Battiston writes, 'Their eyes change and follow the artist's transformations.year by year, with different thoughts, looking towards and within his country's history and culture." Publisher's description. "Questi manifesti benaugurali appaiono nel XVI secolo come forma artistica popolare, hanno colori sgargianti e ritraggono scene storiche, leggendarie, folkloristiche e di vita quotidiana. Questa forma d'arte si sviluppa poi nel corso dei secoli, tocca il suo culmine sotto la dinastia Qing e successivamente si accosta ad altri tipi di manifesti pubblicitari e di propaganda politica. Il maoismo diventa "pop" e attraverso l'interpretazione di Feng Zhengjie le figure assumono un che di kitch e di grottesco. Basta poco a far sorridere queste persone, l'illusione di un "viaggio romantico" immortalato da uno scatto fotografico in una posa plastica e ancora una volta finta. Il tempo passa, le fasi storiche si susseguono e con sguardo critico Feng Zhengjie ne segue le evoluzioni. Sembra uno studio sociologico il suo, un'indagine il cui risultato puo' essere la constatazione di quanto gli uomini stiano diventando sempre piu' superficiali. La bidimensionalita' dei suoi ritratti allude a quanto poco spessore ci sia dietro ad ogni essere umano. La societa' capitalista punta sull'apparenza, su un bell'aspetto e su forme perfette. All'edonismo esasperato, pero', fa da controparte il vuoto interiore, la mancanza di ideali, sentimenti autentici e personalita'. I soggetti dell'artista diventano negli ultimi anni esclusivamente femminili, splendide donne dalla spiccata sensualita', simili nei colori e semplici nelle forme, ma ognuna unica e distinta dalle altre grazie a una bellezza perfetta nella mutevole variabilita' dei dettagli. Protagoniste in primo piano sono le labbra, gli sguardi distorti come se non sapessero piu' dove guardare e le cappigliature mai uguali a se stesse. ".

Through the Moon Gate: A Guide to China's Historic Monuments
large 8vo, softcover. 313 pages. Numerous illustrations. End paper maps. "One hundred sites selected for the book range from a cave where Peking Man was discovered to architectural wonders built in the modern period. Gardens and temples, mausolea and palaces, bridges and pagodas are all included in this fascinating guide. The monuments have been chosen to show the development of Chinese art and architecture over the millenia, and to do so in a way that reflects both the dazzling variety of cultural influences -- the indigenous and the imported -- and the immense geographical scope of Chinese civilization. This guided tour takes the reader from the old Forbidden City (now the Palace Museum) in Beijing, the Great Wall at Badaling and the mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor in Shaanxi Province to Potala, the Tibetan palace of the Dalai Lamas, the tomb of Genghis Khan in Inner Mongolia and the Temple of Confucius in Taiwan". guida ai monumenti storici cinesi, in inglese

New China New Art
4to, hardcover, 239pp., 170 Colour Illustrations (illustrator). The rapid economic and cultural transformation of China during the past fifteen years has created an art scene of unparalleled energy and global impact. Throwing off restrictions on subject matter, embracing a new freedom to experiment, but also preserving and expressing Chinese identity on a monumental scale, this new art has enjoyed an astonishing surge of commercial and critical success. Featuring chapters organized by medium, including painting, sculpture and installation, photography, and performance, the book focuses on the most outstanding contemporary Chinese artists and their most important works. With a preface placing the art in the context of the whirlwind changes in the country's social and political environment, and a concluding critical appraisal, this book offers an authoritative and exciting introduction to art of the new China. arte avanguardia cinese.

Beijing Coma (ISBN:0099481340)
Dai Wei is a medical student and a pro-democracy protestor in Tiananmen Square in June 1989. Caught by a soldier's bullet, he falls into a deep coma; as soon as the hospital authorities discover he is an activist, his mother is forced to take him home. She allows pharmacists access to Dai Wei's body and sells his urine and his left kidney to fund special treatment from Master Yao, a member of the outlawed Falun Gong sect. But during a government crackdown, the Master is arrested and Dai Wei's mother - who has fallen in love with him - loses her mind.The millennium draws near and Dai Wei has been in a coma for almost a decade. A sparrow flies through the window and lands on his naked chest; it is a sign that Dai Wei must emerge from his dry cocoon. But China has also undergone a massive transformation in the time that he has been absent. As he prepares to take leave of his old metal bed, Dai Wei realises that the rich imaginative world afforded to him as a coma patient is a startling contrast with the death-in-life of the world outside.
