 (who died the previous year) is a box-office draw. As a non white hero battling The Man, Lee's popularity extended to African Americans as well as Asian audiences. For a generation of artists, the kung fu phenomenon of the '70s left an indelible impression: "I was struck by just how many people are making work about it," says the Studio Museum's Christine Y.
