>"Art and China's Revolution," an exhibition at the Asia Society in New York City until Jan. 11,
This is worth going to for one reason, by my lights, the reproduction of the part of The Rent Collection Courtyard, originally a life-sized ceramic tableau of peasants bringing their grain to the landlord, created in 1965 by a group of art teachers and students, of which the current Asia Society exhibit has a small part, maybe 12 figures. Talk about socialist realism with Chinese characteristics. When else do you get to walk into a feudal scene rendered by its victims?
