Zhang Hongtu and the MoMAO website

I mentioned him briefly yesterday in my post on art and the amateur ideal, but Zhang Hongtu’s site MoMAO merits its own entry. Three places in particular are worth visiting. His “Mao” and especially his “Material Mao” collection is whimsy in the best sense of that word. More stunning are his recreations of famous Chinese works of art as interpreted through Western masters. Check those out on his “Ongoing Projects” page. And of course, his “Mao’s Last Supper” is featured in the previous post.
