Marching between Revolutionary Art and Poetry:the Cross-Disciplinary Creation of the N4A Soldier Lu Mang
Lu Mang is one of the few revolutionary artists engaged in cross-disciplinary creation in the New Fourth Army. Deft at both art and poetry,he championed the revolution with a large number of wood cuts and poems servicing the war moral of the time. Through the shifting of subjects of asethetic appreciation,he not only achieved the dynamic exchange between poetry and the fine arts,but also the mutual reference of aesthetics and theme consciousness,lending,therewith,an advantage to wartime literature and art together with their popularization. The very themes,and even the very revolutionary and popular art forms are intrinsically related to the wood cut boom and the understanding of art as a tool in Yan'an in the 1930s.
