People can change) reading on the subway while making little notes in the margins about the necessity of sacrificing ones’ self for artistic expression, while literally attending NYU. Ai Weiwei's early years were spent in "Little Siberia", where his poet father had been sent by the Chinese government during the Cultural Revolution.

And in such a place, even the existence of the father-son duo and many other such artist activists is a spark that might ignite a fire one day. The Sparkling City 1000 Piece Foil Puzzle from bestselling artist Joy Laforme features gold foil accents on a shimmering image of colorful merriment in the city.

As for me, I've learnt a lot about contemporary China, about the impact of a totalitarian state on people's life. If you started reading this book with your focus firmly set on Ai Weiwei, you would be forgiven for wondering whether you were reading the right book, considering how much time the first section spends drawing up a portrait of Ai Weiwei's father, Ai Qing: Chinese poet, Parisian student, anti-nationalist, sometimes social philanderer and target under the Anti-Rightest Movement and Cultural Revolution. This Collector's Edition Mini Gift Set is a true testament to Jean Patou's legacy of creating fragrances that stand the test of time.

You might know him for creating the “Bird’s Nest” which is the Beijing National Stadium for the 2008 Summer Olympics.With art I opened up a space that was new to me, an abandoned space infested with weeds, in wild and desolate ruin. He is so filled with scorn for his fellow country-men and their sheep-like tendencies, but doesn’t question the fact that both he and his father were able to fuel much of their artistic livelihoods through loans from their family and the unwavering financial and domestic support of their wives and international friends.

It's the story of a father and a son, of exceptional creativity and passionate belief, and of how two indomitable spirits enabled the world to understand their country. This could be a cool book if it were trimmed down and focused in more on the history of China’s oppression of the arts – if that sounds interesting to you, then you can just read the first half of the book which focuses on his father, and skip the rest. Outspoken artist and international human-rights icon Ai Weiwei here chillingly documents--originally as a record for his young son, and subsequently for all the rest of us--the brutal life of privation and repression he experienced growing into manhood in remote China before, during, and after the Cultural Revolution as the son of a prominent poet, one of many thousands of wrongfully imprisoned political prisoners.And finally, immerse yourself in 2 vials of 1000, a fragrance that encapsulates pure elegance and refined femininity. The philosophy with which he was surrounded and the privation of his early life informed much of his personality and later artistic expression. This drive to express, and lack of concern for his own safety, landed Ai Weiwei in prison and under torture. Ai's work is a remarkable testament to the eternal power of the simple, daring truth, underlining that an artist without the courage to speak it is merely a decorator—and a citizen without it is a subject. Eine absolute Empfehlung für alle, die sich für Ai Weiwei, Kultur, Menschenrechte und China interessieren.
