Mao-art is propaganda
to promote Communism
By LESLIt THORNTON
Allen Fong picked up a
silkscrcen portrait that was
about the size of his hand and
said, “Do you like it? I have
had it for about 7 months, but
I haven’t shown it to anyone.
People would think I am
Communist."
The silkscreen portrait,
which is reversible, is of Mao
Tsc-tung, the man who
introduced Communism into
China.
Fong, a film m$jor from
Hung Kong, has a collection of
about 30 papercuttings, 10
posters, and 2 silkscreen
portraits of revolutionary Mao
art.
Fong brought the art from
Hong Kong when he came here
two years ago.
“They sell a lot of Chinese
products in Hong Kong," he
said, “China uses Hong Kong as
its shopping window to show
their things to the outside
world. The papercuttings are
made by mass production, but
they are cut out individually
There are so many people to
do the work.”
“THE PAPERCUTTINGS
and posters of Mao are a
propaganda technique to
publicize the Communist
ideas," Fong said. “Say the
Chinese wanted to publicize
Jane Fonda Then they would
make a papercutting of her."
According to Fong,
revolutionary Mao art is a
result of the Cultural
Revolution which took place in
China a few years ago
“My dica is that the
Communists constantly want
some kind of revolution," he
explained. "When things are
settled, the Communists think
they’re getting lazy so they
find some excuse to put things
in a desperate situation so they
can create a revolution. The
Ci 'tural Revolution was the
Z club taps

latest one. Not many years
from now I believe they will
have another one .’’
“THEY SAY it’s for
progress. I believe it is Once in
awhile you have to revolt," he
added.
Fong does not regard the
content of his art collection as
important but chooses certain
items because they are so
beautiful and so delicate “Art
reflects a certain time in
history. These (papercuttings
and posters) reflect the last S
years in China. Maybe in a few
years China will be under new
leaders. History will change but
art will say the same," he said.
“This is art for propaganda’s
sake I would like art for art's
sake. But I still like the
techniques."
l ong admires Mao as a
leader but docs not care for
some of his ways of doing
things. “He is one of the best
politicians in contemporary
history," Fong said, referring
to the Chinese leader. “Some
of his ways of doing things
may not be right, but history
will tell. The Chinese people
worship him like a god I don’t
like that."
ASKED WHY Mao was
chosen for the subject of the
art, Fong explained, “Mao is
the safest subject to choose for
art. The other Chinese leaders
may be out of power two years
from now. If you had done
papercuttings of them, you
would be in hot water.”
Fong brought the posters
here because he thought that
Americans would like to see
them as part of the culture of a
foreign country. "Since
President Nixon’s visit to
China, I think Americans are
more ready for this type of art
now," he said
Fong’s collection is now on
display at the Above Ground
Mall Famous Since 1972
between Barnett's Newsstand
and the Wrangler Steak House.
Absentee ballot requests
accepted until June 16

Requests for absentee bal
lots for the August 8 primary
election are now being ac
cepted at the office of the
Board of Registrars, according
to Ms. Allene Carteaux, coun
ty registrar.
Ms. Carteaux said requests
for the ballots will be
received in her office in the
county courthouse, either in
the form of a letter or by
filling out a request form she
has.
The deadline for voter
registration for the primary is
June 16. Voters registered in
other Georgia counties who
merely wish to transfer their
registration may do so until
July 21 and still be eligible
to vote in the primary.
Ms. Carteaux said the
request for the absentee
ballot must specify the party
for which the voter wishes to
obtain a ballot, since this will
be a joint primary, and the
address to which the ballot
should be mailed.
Absentee ballots will be
ordered from Secretary of
State Ben Fortson and mailed
out sometime in July and must
be in her office by August 8
in order to be counted.
Instructions for completing
the ballot, having it notarized
and returning it will be
included with the ballot. Ms.
Carteaux emphasized the
importance of having the
ballot correctly notarized
since only postmasters, regis
trars of the county in which
the voter is registered or
university registrars are
authorized to notarize ballots
except in cases of disability
or membership in the armed
forces.
Numerous offices will be
included on the primary
ballot, including state senator,
state representatives, county
ordinary, county sheriff,
county tax commissioner and
five city council posts if the
consolidation charter does
not pass in the upcoming
referendum.
