- Abstract :
- Investigates the iconography of Huang Yongyu's painting Owl of 1973 which depicts a winking owl. It was held as an example of blaspheming the Socialist system in 1974. The post-Mao interpretations of the painting invariably involve a reassessment of the 1974 inquisition and remain polarized in their assertions: the painting suffered from either overreading or underreading. Includes consideration of other works by the artist which feature eye-play (one eye open, the other closed or covered). ;
