SUMMARY:Post-Mao Dreaming. Special Art Event--Joan & Jerome Cohen
DESCRIPTION:Joan and Jerome Cohen will give a slide presentation and s
 peak about the \"Post-Mao Dreaming\" exhibition currently at the Smith
  College Museum of Art in Northampton, MA. This collection of works, r
 ecently given to Smith College Museum of Art by the Cohens, provides a
  window into the era when Chinese artists, emerging from the constrain
 ts of 30 years of Maoist Communism (1949–1979), began to reclaim the
 ir individuality. The Cohens witnessed both the excessive restrictions
  of the late-Mao period and the gradually increasing freedom artists a
 chieved. Many of the works in the exhibition date to the late 1970s an
 d early 1980s, a time of transition in Chinese art. The political thaw
  of this period allowed a shift from state-mandated socialist realism 
 to the exploration of historical Chinese art forms (such as ink painti
 ng) that paralleled innovations in form and subject matter. \"Post-Mao
  Dreaming\" features works produced between 1971 and 2005 by key artis
 ts of the period, representing both the reclamation of tradition and t
 he breaking of new artistic ground.\n\nJoan Lebold Cohen, art historia
 n/photographer, has been writing about contemporary Chinese art and cu
 rating exhibitions since the 1970s. Her book, New Chinese Painting, 19
 49-1986, was the first book to introduce the new generation of artists
  after the Cultural Revolution.\n\nJerome A. Cohen is the founding dir
 ector of East Asian Legal Studies at Harvard Law School. Currently, he
  is Professor of Law at New York University and Adjunct Senior Fellow 
 for Asia Studies at the Council of Foreign Relations and Of Counsel at
  Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton, and Garrison.\n\nFor more information
