The Influence of the Soviet Union

Due to the close relationship in the socialist camp between China and the Soviet Union, the field of art was fully learned from the Soviet Union, and Soviet painters also trained Chinese painters through the oil painting classes of Konstantin Maksimov. However, with the rupture of relations with the Soviet Union, Mao Zedong’s idea of “combining revolutionary realism and revolutionary romanticism” was advocated in the field of literature and art, and art played a great role in expressing the history of the Communist Party of China and propagating socialist construction.
