This talk explores the lives and work of a number of figures who dominated the world of the Chinese cartoon during the 1920s-1940s. This period saw the rise of the cartoon as a major part of Shanghai’s jazz-age, as well as its widespread use as a propaganda tool. The work of cartoonist Ding Cong is currently on display in Gallery 38.
