Realism is Not the Only Path

Context

The Chinese art world began to re-examine the issue of Realism after cultural revolution. The discussion was even intensified by the emergence of Scar Art, Luo Zhongli’s Father, and Chen Danqing’s Tibet Series. Li Xianting's articles argue that Social Realism is not necessarily a true depiction of reality and that it should not be the only style to pursue in art.

栗憲庭在文革之後寫的文章。那時中國美術界開始重新審視現實主義問題，而傷痕美術、羅中立的「父親」及陳丹青「西藏組畫」等作品的出現則更是激發了這個討論。栗憲庭的文章要論證的是，以往主導美術界的「社會主義現實主義」並不一定能反映真實，更不應該是美術創作的唯一途徑。
