In the 1930s and 1940s there was a florescence of woodcut and wood engraving art in China. This was in part a response to the Japanese invasion, the rise of a resistance movement, the effects of bureaucratic corruption, and the effects of poverty and famine. Low-costs of production allowed the artists great scope, and also made possible the wide dissemination of their image. Many of the woodcuts and engravings are powerful and compelling in their own right.
