This study evaluates how the ideology of Socialist Realism, developed by the Soviets in policies and practices of art, has been influential in the Asia-Pacific region from 1917 until today.

Focusing primarily on Russia, then China, Vietnam, Korea, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Australia, Soviet Socialist Realism and Art in the Asia-Pacific demonstrates how each society adopted and adapted the Soviet example to create some of the most important imagery of recent history. Included is an examination of how the practice of Western art history, the nature of art history in Asia, and the forces of the Cold War have led to this influence being inadequately acknowledged across Asia and more widely.

The book will be relevant to those interested in art history, Asian studies, political history, and cultural history.
