Asian propaganda","description":"Revolutionary art generally means propaganda – art with a political message that is intended to motivate or persuade. However, propaganda is not just a sinister manipulation, as connoted in the West since the early twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn revolutionary and wartime societies, propaganda is considered a vital part of education and political participation. Propaganda encourages or condemns; reinforces existing attitudes and behaviour; and promotes social membership within nation, class or work unit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on the British Museum’s wide-ranging collection, this book provides a fascinating contextual survey of political art across Asia, covering the period from about 1900 to 1976. The author explores themes such as propaganda in daily life; heroes and villains; the use of the past; symbolism; dissent; women and children; and revolutionary inspirations. Over 100\u003cbr\u003eworks of art from China, Japan, Vietnam, Korea, India and other countries are featured. Here are posters, prints, cartoons, calligraphy, ceramics, papercuts, textiles, panels and badges – powerful images designed to move hearts and minds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis title is only available through Hotei Publishing in the United States of America, Canada and the Phillipines.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mary Ginsberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48268748620027,"sku":"9789004256316","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-art-of-influence-asian-propaganda-9789004256316","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
