Although they were restricted by the confines of political propaganda, Ai Weiwei was struck by the artists' ability to express their thoughts on art and humanity through graphic storytelling. Now, decades later, Ai Weiwei and Italian comic artist Gianluca Costantini present Zodiac, Ai Weiwei's first graphic memoir. Inspired by the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac and their associated human characteristics, Ai Weiwei masterfully interweaves ancient Chinese folklore with stories of his life, family, and career. The narrative shifts back and forth through the years--at once in the past, present, and future--mirroring memory and our relationship to time. As readers delve deeper into the beautifully illustrated pages of Zodiac, they will find not only a personal history of Ai Weiwei and an examination of the sociopolitical climate in which he makes his art, but a philosophical exploration of what it means to find oneself through art and freedom of expression."--Amazon. 600 10 $a Ai, Weiwei $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Artists $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Zodiac $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Folklore $z China $v Comic books, strips, etc. 651 0 $a China $x History $y Cultural Revolution, 1966-1976 $v Comic books, strips, etc. $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 6 $a Artistes $v Bandes dessineÌes. 650 6 $a Zodiaque $v Bandes dessineÌes. 650 6 $a Folklore $z Chine $v Bandes dessineÌes. 651 6 $a Chine $x Histoire $y 1966-1976 (ReÌvolution culturelle) $v Bandes dessineÌes. $v Bandes dessineÌes. 655 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographical comics. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Bandes dessineÌes biographiques. $2 rvmgf 700 1 $a Stamboulis, Elettra, $e author. 700 1 $a Costantini, Gianluca, $d 1971- $e illustrator. 941 $a 9 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20240802013022.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717024224.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240524011056.0 952 $l CIPB482 $d 20240511010126.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240409012821.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240405024554.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240302010351.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240224010930.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240206010509.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E7FDD738C26111EE8AAD6E6423ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
