Beschreibungen/Notizen

• In the art world today, a hegemony of styles gives way in the wake of high modernism's leaving the stage, allowing individual works of art to stand on their own and make the case that they merit the name "art." An example of an art that speaks to the child, the savage, and the metaphysician, significant because of the attention it garners on the world stage, is the post-1989 art being made by Chinese artists. The work's materials and the stories that attend them are "distinct and tangible within us and without ambiguity." They speak to everyone, the materials appealing to the senses and the stories to the imagination.
