the avant-garde Mao

The founder of our great nation, who proclaimed “Arts are for the people.（艺术为人民）”，”There is in fact no such thing as art for art’s sake, art that stands above classes, art that is detatched from or independent of politics.(为艺术的艺术,超阶级的艺术,和政治并行或互相独立的艺术,实际上是不存在的)”, has himself transformed from a revolutionary to an icon d’art. It seems like a renaissance the people make for him as a fever in return to the revolution he brought„ Oops..

To make new faces for Mao is apparently an easy approach to get well-known due to the controversy and the classic sense. Though many of Mao themed art objects were too charged - banned to embody the national watchword “harmony”(河蟹).
