"The Revolution Continues provides the first link between the rebellious spirit of the current generation of Chinese artists and the mood of rebellion that was so evident during the years of the Cultural Revolution from 1966 to the death of Mao and the fall of the Gang of Four in 1976. Jiang Jiehong, the curator from Shanghai who now heads the Centre for Chinese Visual Arts at Birmingham City University, argues here that although the widespread destruction of traditional Chinese treasure by the Red Guards, especially in the early period of 1966, overshadows the entire period, today's rebellious artistic spirit is, in fact, an extension of Mao's legacy."--BOOK JACKET.
