  • Literature notes

    Chui Xiaoxing began painting in 1976 when he joined an artists' commune in Jiangsu. Such communes were established to enable untrained workers and peasants to produce paintings which usually depicted rural activities. This coincided with the Cultural Revolution (1966-76), when established artists were forbidden or discouraged from painting.
