Title: | Jiangjia de xiao chaoting de fumo (The fall of the Chiang family dynasty) |
Artist: | Lu Mang 蘆芒 |
Created: | c. 1945-9 |
Media: | Lithograph |
Source: | Jiangsu jiefangqu huaxuan (Images from the Liberated areas of Jiangsu) (Nanjing: Jiangsu renmin chubanshe, 1962) |
Notes: | An unusual instance of Civil-War era anti-Chiang artwork from Jiangsu (much of the surviving imagery from the late 1940s is found in sources originating in North China), which shows a comic but far from sinister Chiang surrounded by family members as he realises his fate. Lu Mang was the pen name of a Shanghai-born man of letters called Li Yanhua (李衍華). Li was associated with the New Fourth Army. |
