A Different Chinese Revolution

The world may be fearful of China because it is contributing to the scarcity of useable energy sources and fearful because of its trade policies, but within China, the individual is now acknowledged as a 'site' of being as in no other time in its history. One 'pioneer' in the social realm has been a scholar/artist who has made the study of the nude prominent. There have been previous attempts at defying public doctrine as this photo from 1937--Published in a Shanghai newspaper--attests.
