Iconoclasm...


Artist, Zhang Hongtu’s iconoclasm work of “Chairmen Mao” was developed in 1989. This was after the fact that the Chinese government rejected the pro-democracy movement. Mao was such a pervasive leader, artist Zhang created “Chairmen Mao,” which depicts Mao as being a child with ponytails to portray Mao as not being a man/grown-up. It wasn’t long before that the image of Mao soon got out and on public magazines and papers.
