Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster

Three figures in motion, one in flowing white.

This Cultural Revolution poster was printed in ink on paper in China in the 20th century. Such posters, commonly associated with the 1966 to 1976 period, were often made to mark events and mass gatherings. Against a flat red field, three figures stand close together, two in work clothes with raised arms and one in pale, swirling dress who leans into a dance-like pose. The grey tones of the figures contrast with the red.

About 30 by 20 inches. Strong colors, strong lines, strong posture.
