Abstract

Monsters are bound up with Chinese traditional culture, and have been presented via various cultural forms, such as literature, drama, New Year print and costume. At the turn of the twentieth-century, visual traditions have been re-examined through the social and political transitions, whereas the traditional monster culture as a part of the legacy faced great challenges ahead. In order to understand monster imagery’s inherent values and reinterpret its imagery in contemporary Chinese visual art, this research focuses on monster imagery in the social, political and transitional context of the early twentieth-century China.
