ZHILIN (b. 1928) Beijing, China "Intellectual Youth from Beijing in Yan’an" 1975 oil on cardboard, 13 3/8"” x 17"” After returning to Yan’an in 1973, Jin painted many intellectual youth sent to the countryside to be “rusticated.” Between the early 1960’s and the end of the Cultural Revolution, millions of urban youth were “sent down” to the countryside to learn from the peasants and to ideally change their worldview from urban intellectualism to peasant and revolutionary. The model in this painting also appears in Song Ruxin’s woodcut, Grandma’s Heart, produced the same year. |
