ZHILIN (b. 1928) Beijing, China "Portrait Study Painting" 1975 oil on cardboard, 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" The portrait appears to be of a local peasant, but could also be an intellectual youth. It is also unclear if the piece was a study painting for a major work as its title may indicate. The piece reflects a return to a socialist realism style from the revolutionary romanticism that characterized art during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), reflecting an atmosphere of greater artistic freedom that emerged in the final years of that tumultuous decade. |
