Publishers Weekly "If you want to look at serious art, devote an hour upstairs to 'Summoning Ghosts: The Art of Hung Liu.' Ms. Liu may now live in California, but all China is here, in the hands of a true master of her brush and her culture." -- David Littlejohn Wall Street Journal "To trace her development is to see an evolving byplay between complexity of purpose and complexity of execution." San Francisco Chronicle "Melds the large scale and strict technique of socialist realist propaganda with the drippy freedom of abstract expressionism ... (radical in a place like China, intent on obliterating its past)." San Francisco Magazine "Liu illustrates her take on personal and cultural history, crafting visually stunning narratives that unite past and present." San Jose Mercury News "These essays are important contributions to scholarship on this artist." -- Midori Yamamura Women's Art Journal
