Art and Politics in China and Taiwan
Abstract: The political context of the art of two leading artists, one from China, Ai Weiwei, and one from Taiwan, Wu Tien-Chang are examined. Each has consistently addressed aspects of his culture, creating images that carry political implications in imaginative art forms. Respective political backgrounds and current situations in relation to some of their artistic statements are reviewed.
